Harris v. Union Elevated Railroad

Opinion of the Court

PRATT, J.

There are no questions of law that require discussion. The witness James was clearly incompetent to testify as to the change produced in the rental value of Hudson avenue by the construction, of the road. The question of fact as to the amount of depreciation of the rental value by the road was determined favorably to defendant. The evidence would have justified a much larger verdict. We find no errors, and the judgment is affirmed, with costs.
