Keyes v. Manhattan Navigation Co.
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York · Decided December 4, 1914 · Seabury
150 N.Y.S. 1092 (New York Supplement)
Keyes v. Manhattan Navigation Co.

Opinion of the Court

SEABURY, J.

The direction to the witness, before his testimony had been completed, to leave the stand and the courtroom, was irregular and improper. No good purpose is to be gained by discussing the incident, and it is sufficient to point out that, in our judgment, justice requires that a new trial should be ordered. Judgment reversed, and new trial ordered, with costs to the appellant to abide the event. All concur.
