1. ““The Court instructs the jury with respect to the counterclaim of the de fendant Barbara Barks, that the said Barbara Barks was under the law, bound to exercise the highest degree of care in the operation of said automobile at the time and place in question, that is, such care as a very careful and prudent person would exercise under the same or similar circumstances. In this connection you are further instructed that if you find and believe from all the evidence that, under all the circumstances shown in evidence that before the said Barbara Barks drove said automobile into the intersection mentioned in evidence, the plaintiff had already entered said intersection, if you so find, and if you further find and believe that before the said Barbara Barks entered said intersection she carelessly and negligently failed to keep a lookout for other vehicles entering said intersection from the north, and if you further find and believe that such negligence, if any, on the part of the said Barbara Barks directly caused or directly contributed to cause the collision mentioned in evidence, then the defendant Barbara Barks is not entitled to recover on her counterclaim and your verdict on said counterclaim will be in favor of the plaintiff Louise Harrellson and against the defendant Barbara Barks.””
