Mary Cox, Respondent, v. St. Luke's Home for Aged Women, Appellant.

Headnote

Appeal from a judgment of the Supreme Court, entered in the New York county clerk’s office on the 17th day of May, 1915, upon the verdict of a jury, and also from an order entered on the 24th day of May, 1915, denying a motion for a new trial.

We are of the opinion that the evidence failed to establish defendant’s negligence, and for that reason the defendant’s motion to dismiss the complaint, at the close of plaintiff’s case, and renewed at the close of the whole case, should have been granted. The judgment and order appealed from are, therefore, reversed, with costs, and the complaint dismissed, with costs. Present—Clarke, P. J., McLaughlin, Laughlin, Scott and Page, JJ. Judgment and order reversed, with costs, and complaint dismissed, with costs.
