¶4PER CURIAM.

¶5The plaintiff child suddenly and without warning ran through a thick hedge bordering an alley just as the defendant’s car turned in from the street. She collided with the car which was almost instantly brought to a stop. Following the procedure authorized by Fed.R.Civ.P. 50(b), 28 U.S.C.A., and a practice which we have previously approved,1 the Dis*565trict Judge allowed the jury to consider the controverted issues as to negligence and contributory negligence. After a plaintiff’s verdict had been returned, he granted the defendant’s motion for judgment n. o. v. We are satisfied that in such exercise of his legal discretion no error resulted.2 3

¶6Affirmed.
