Southern R. Co. v. Shipp, 169 Ala. 327; Nashville Lumber Co. v. Busbee, 100 Ark. 76 Accord. See Macdonald v. O’Reilley, 45 Or. 589. In Warren v. Street R., 70 N. H. 352, 362, Pike, J., said: “The child’s cause of action survived by reason of the statute, and the money recovered in it will be assets in the hands of its administrator, to be distributed in accordance with the special provisions of the statute. If the father’s negligence barred his right to recover in this action, there would seem to be no reason why it would not bar him from recovering any property of the child which he might inherit under the general provisions relating to descent and distribution, but this is not claimed to be and is not the law.”
