Whiting v. Standard Gas-Light Co.
New York Supreme Court · Decided December 14, 1894
31 N.Y.S. 1135; 90 N.Y. Sup. Ct. 4; 64 N.Y. St. Rep. 883 (New York Supplement)

Counsel

Henry Thompson, for appellant., T. McCants Stewart, for respondent.

Whiting v. Standard Gas-Light Co.

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

There was such evidence of negligence on the part of the defendant, and absence of contributory negligence on the part of the plaintiff, as justified the submission of the case to the jury. The appellant contends that excessive damages were awarded bv the verdict. If we were inclined to the view that the evidence before us would justify such contention, still we could not interfere with the judgment, because the record does not inform us that it contains all the evidence. The judgment and order appealed from should be affirmed, with costs.
