Bulkley v. . Whiting Manufacturing Company
Bulkley v. . Whiting Manufacturing Company
Opinion of the Court
*567 Judgment affirmed, with costs, on the ground that the plaintiff’s motion for the direction of a verdict in his favor should have been granted; no opinion.
Concur: Vann, Werner, Willard Bartlett and Chase, JJ.
Dissenting Opinion
(dissenting). We are all of the opinion that there is but one question in this case, whether the unpaid salary of the treasurer, Salisbury, had. been relinquished by him, or whether it remained a valid claim against the company. A majority of the court think that, as a matter of law, on the evidence it was not relinquished; that, therefore, the plaintiff was entitled to the direction of a verdict, and that the errors in the submission of the case to the jury were immaterial. We are of opinion that the relinquishment by Salisbury of the salary was a question of fact to be determined by the jury.
