defendant, and thereby caused to suffer personal injuries and
damages in the sum of $77,943.30, for which she sought recovery.

light was green whereupon plaintiff suddenly and without signal
stopped her car causing defendant to bump into her; defendant
denied negligence on his part and claimed the plaintiff was
guilty of negligence in causing the collision; defendant denied

entered into by the parties on December 13, 1962, wherein

of all liability in consideration of the sum of $2,500.00 which
amount was tendered to her, and defendant prayed that the
settlement agreement be enforced.
