Appellate Terms of the Supreme Court of New York, 1901

Lewis v. Metropolitan Street Railway Co.

Appellate Terms of the Supreme Court of New York · Decided June 15, 1901

35 Misc. 304; 71 N.Y.S. 948

Counsel

Lewis & Harmstad, for appellant., H. A. Robinson (G. Glenn Worden, of counsel), for respondent.

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

In the complaint the plaintiff demands “ Judgment for two hundred and forty-five dollars, with interest from the 1st day of June, 1900.” The action being for personal injuries, the jury may award the interest when demanded, if it should see fit. Its demand brought the claim beyond the sum of $250, and the order of removal is correct.

Present: Scott, P. J., Beach and Fitzgerald, JJ.

Order affirmed, with ten dollars costs.
