Feld v. Platt
Appellate Terms of the Supreme Court of New York · Decided November 29, 1907
107 N.Y.S. 21 (New York Supplement)

Counsel

O’Brien, Boardman, Platt & Dunning (George W. Field and Russell H. Robbins, of counsel), for appellant., Leidy & Goodstein (Herman B. Goodstein, of counsel), for respondent.

Feld v. Platt

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

This is the ordinary “baggage case.” There was no affirmative proof that the plaintiff’s agent, to whom the receipt was delivered, was ignorant of its contents. Therefore the request to charge that the burden was on the plaintiff to establish such ignorance was proper, and its refusal error.

Judgment reversed, and new trial ordered, with costs to appellant to abide the event.
