PER CURIAM.
1
This appeal was allowed to review the application by the Municipal Court of Appeals of our decisions in Rosenberg v. Murray, 1 and Hiscox v. Jackson 2 in determining the limited circumstances under which the presumption of consent under the District of Columbia Owners' Financial Responsibility Act, D.C.Code § 40-403 (1940), may be overcome as a matter of law. Upon our review of this case, we conclude that the Municipal Court of Appeals correctly stated and applied the governing principles laid down by this court.
2
We therefore adopt the opinion of the Municipal Court of Appeals, reported in 1951, 79 A.2d 777 , in affirming its judgment herein.

Affirmed.
