Description
In this case the question presented is, when does
the Statute of Limitations relating to actions
sounding in negligence commence to run? The complaint contained the following allegations:
On or about December 9, 1950, the defendant
at its store in New Britain sold to Robert Varkal,
a minor aged ten years, a BB air rifle in
violation of an ordinance of the city of New
Britain prohibiting such a sale. On or about
August 27, 1953, the air rifle was discharged by
Robert Varkal while he was playing with the named
plaintiff and the latter was shot in the right
eye. The defendant was negligent in that it sold
the air rifle in violation of the ordinance and in
that it sold such a dangerous weapon to a young
child who, it should have known, was unfit to be
trusted with an air rifle. In consequence of that
negligence the named plaintiff sustained severe
injuries to, and permanent loss of vision in, his
right eye. To this complaint the defendant
demurred on the ground that "it affirmatively
appears . . . that the action was not brought
within one year from the date of the act
or omission complained of." The parties agree
that the complaint sets forth all the facts
