Woolsey v. Western Union Telegraph Co.
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York · Decided December 30, 1946
271 A.D.2d 909
Woolsey v. Western Union Telegraph Co.

Opinion of the Court

Appeal from judgments, Madison Trial Term, rendered upon the theory that defendant was either negligent or a trespasser. The record is not clear as to the theory upon which the jury rendered a verdict. There is scant, if any, proof of negligence and the theory of trespass was not clearly presented to the jury. Judgments reversed, on the law and facts, and a new trial granted, with costs to appellant to abide the event. All concur. [See post, p. 1040.]
