Foster v. City of New York

Opinion

Judgment reversed and a new trial granted, with costs to abide the event, upon the ground that plaintiff established a prima facie case in negligence. No opinion.

Concur: Chief Judge Conway and Judges Dye, Fund and Froessel. Judges Desmond, Van Voorhis and Burke dissent and vote to affirm upon the ground that the undisputed proof as to the physical facts, including photographs submitted by both parties, established that the depression in the sidewalk was too slight to constitute a trap.
