New York Supreme Court, 1894

In re Brooklyn El. Railroad

New York Supreme Court · Decided December 10, 1894 · Dykman

31 N.Y.S. 1126; 90 N.Y. Sup. Ct. 615 (New York Supplement)

Counsel

Hoadly, Lauterbach & Johnson (Henry L. Scheuerman, of counsel), for appellant., J. Culbert Palmer and Rufus M. Williams, for respondent.

Opinion of the Court

DYKMAN, J.

It does not appear in this case that any erroneous principle of law was adopted by the commissioners in making their award, or that any allowance was made for noise. It is not usual for an appellate court to interfere with awards of commissioners upon the question of damages merely, and we find no reason for such interference in this case. The order should be affirmed, with $10 costs and disbursements.
