EXAMINATION OF WITNESSES, § 100 — reversible cross examination of plaintiff in automobile accident case. Where defendant, in action for personal injuries allegedly sustained in automobile accident, failed to show that worry caused by plaintiff's marital difficulties with her husband tended to cause or aggravate ailments of plaintiff of which she complained, cross examination of plaintiff, over objections, regarding her marital difficulties was prejudicial as calling for immaterial and irrelevant matters and warranted reversal of judgment for defendant.
