Kielich v. William Hengerer Co.
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York · Decided March 15, 1934
241 A.D. 796
Kielich v. William Hengerer Co.

Opinion of the Court

Judgment and order affirmed, with costs. All concur, except Lewis, J., who dissents and votes for reversal on the law and for a new trial on the ground that the infant plaintiff, who was concededly non sui juris, was guilty of such conduct as would have constituted negligence as a matter of law had he been an adult and that he failed to sustain the requisite burden of proof that his custodian was free from contributory negligence under the ruling in Kupchinsky v. Vacuum Oil Co. (263 N. Y. 128).
