Manhattan Railway Co. v. Kent

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam :

The proceedings before the condemnation commissioners were not the trial contemplated by the statute. Such proceedings were a mere assessment of damages. The trial spoken of in the statute is that which takes place preliminary to the appointment of commissioners.

The order appealed from should be affirmed, with ten dollars costs and disbursements.

Present — Yan Brunt, P. J., O’Brien and Follbtt, JJ.

Order affirmed, with ten dollars costs and disbursements.
