Counsel

Wm. E. Stewart, for appellant. J. Brownson Ker, for respondent.

McCann v. New York & Queens County Railway Co.

Opinion of the Court

VAN BRUNT, P. J.

We do not think it necessary to write any further opinion upon the facts of this case. We think that the verdict was against the evidence upon the points of the defendant’s negligence and the contributory negligence of the deceased, and also that the damages were excessive. For these reasons the judgment and order should be reversed, and a new trial ordered, with costs to the appellant to abide the event.

INGRAHAM and LAUGHLIN, JJ., concur. PATTERSON, J., dissents.
