Michael Maloney, Respondent, v. Cunard Steamship Company, Limited, Appellant.

Headnote

Appeal from a judgment of the Supreme Court, entered in the Hew York county clerk’s office on the 14th day of March, 1913, on a verdict and from an order entered on the 10th day of April, 1918, denying a motion for a new trial.

The evidence fails to sustain a finding that the defendant was guilty of negligence or that the plaintiff was free from contributory negligence. The judgment and order should, therefore, be reversed and the complaint dismissed, with costs. Present — Ingraham, P. J., Laughlin, Clarke, Scott and Hotchkiss, JJ. Laughlin and Hotchkiss, JJ., concurred
