Brady v. Metropolitan Street-Railway Co.
City of New York Municipal Court · Decided December 13, 1900 · Schuchmaii
67 N.Y.S. 588 (New York Supplement)

Counsel

Henry A. Robinson, for appellant., Logan, Demond & Harby, for respondent.

Brady v. Metropolitan Street-Railway Co.

Opinion of the Court

SCHUCHMAIi, J.

The only point urged by appellant to effect a reversal of the judgment is that the court erred in charging “that if, while the passenger is getting off the car, the jury find that the car is started suddenly, so as to produce a jerking motion, it is in itself an act of carelessness and negligence.” This was not error. Bennett v. Railroad Co., 40 App. Div. 626, 57 N. Y. Supp. 994; Roberts v. Johnson, 58 N. Y. 613; Schalscha v. Railroad Co., 19 Misc. Rep. 141, 43 N. Y. Supp. 251.

Judgment and order appealed from affirmed, with costs.

MCCARTHY, j., concurs.
