    GRADY, Respondent, v. BROOKLYN UNION GAS CO., Appellant.
    (Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Second Department.
    May 1, 1914.)
    Action by Bridget Grady against the Brooklyn Union Gas Company.
   PER CURIAM.

Judgment and order of the County Court of Kings County unanimously affirmed, with costs. A passenger leaving a street car at the Borough Hall loop, to cross the street to the sidewalk, who is invited to come across by the officer of the traffic squad on duty, is not to be held guilty of contributory negligence as matter of law, if run over by an approaching vehicle which the "traffic officer failed to stop. In such case, it is a question of fact for the jury whether the conduct of the pedestrian is that of a reasonably prudent person, in view of all the circumstances. The weight of the evidence and the condition at this place of dense traffic justify the finding of negligence in the driving and management of the defendant’s horse and wagon in colliding with the plaintiff.
