Lotherington v. Syracuse Rapid Transit Railway Co.
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York · Decided November 26, 1901
73 N.Y.S. 1139 (New York Supplement)
Lotherington v. Syracuse Rapid Transit Railway Co.

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Judgment of county court reversed, and judgment of the municipal court affirmed, with costs. While the plaintiff and the defendant’s employé Harrison were not coemployés as matter of law, what the latter said at the time of the accident was suggestive and advisory merely; and he was not authorized, nor did he attempt, to give the plaintiff or his associates orders in the premises, and therefore the defendant is not liable.
