Darnell v. Long Island Railroad

Judgment reversed upon the law and the facts, with costs, and complaint dismissed, with costs. Vinie A. Darnell was guilty of contributory negligence as a matter of law. (Fitch v. N. Y. C. R. R. Co., 233 N. Y. 356 ; La Goy v. Director-General of Railroads, 231 id. 191; Cassidy v. Fonda, Johnstown & Gloversville R. R. Co., 234 id. 599; Hagglund v. Erie R. R. Co., 210 id. 46; Van Wormer v. Schenectady Railway Co., 207 App. Div. 7 .) The facts in Chamberlain v. Lehigh Valley R. R. Co. ( 238 N. Y. 233 ) distinguish it from the foregoing cases and the instant case. In view of this disposition of the case, the appeal from the order denying motion for a new trial is dismissed. Lazansky, P. J., Young, Hagarty, Seeger and Carswell, JJ., concur.
