Valence v. City of Syracuse
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York · Decided October 15, 1932
236 A.D. 823
Valence v. City of Syracuse

Opinion of the Court

Order affirmed, with costs, All concur, except Edgcomb, J., who dissents and votes for reversal upon the ground that none of the newly-discovered evidence goes to the question of damages, and as the jury has fixed plaintiff’s damages at six cents, the court was not justified in setting the verdict aside and in granting a new trial to enable the plaintiff to recover nominal damages. (Robison v. Lockridge, 230 App. Div. 389, 391; Midland Linseed Products Co. v. Viall, 213 id. 92; Throckmorton v. Evening Post Pub. Co., 35 id. 396.)
