Jordan v. New York, Lake Erie & Western Railroad

Supreme Court of New Jersey March 15, 1884

Jordan v. New York, Lake Erie & Western Railroad, 46 N.J.L. 206 (N.J. 1884)

Affirmance, Clement, Cole, Depue, Dixon, Mague, Parker, Paterson, Reed, Reversal, Scudder, Syckel, Whitaker

Opinion of the Court

The Chancellor.

The error which is alleged to have been committed in this case was in the nonsuiting of the plaintiff for having, by his own negligence, contributed to the injury for damages for which the suit was brought. I am of opinion that there was no error in the judicial action complained of, and think, therefore, that the judgment of the Circuit Court should be affirmed.

For affirmance — The Chancellor, Chief Justice, Depue, Reed, Scudder, Van Syckel, Paterson. 7. For reversal—Dixon, Mague, Parker, Clement, Cole, Whitaker. 6.
