Opinion
Submitted on briefs March 3d 1931
Decided April 6th, 1931.
ACTION to recover damages for personal injuries, alleged to have been caused by the defendants' negligence, brought to the Court of Common Pleas for the Judicial District of Waterbury, where the defendants' motion to erase for want of jurisdiction was denied ( McNiff, Deputy Judge), and the issues tried to the court, Beardsley, J.; judgment for the plaintiff against the defendant Philip A. Cohen and appeal by that defendant. No error.
David R. Woodhouse, for the appellant (defendant Cohen).
Clayton L. Klein, for the appellee (plaintiff).
The only issue upon this appeal is as to the effectiveness under the applicable constitutional limitation of the statute, Public Acts of 1925, Chapter 122, now General Statutes, § 5473, to confer jurisdiction upon our courts over a nonresident automobilist using the highways of this State. It is therefore ruled by our decision in Hartley v. Vitiello, ante, p. 74, 154 A. 255.
