Elizabeth M. Naylor, Respondent, v. Erie Railroad Company, Appellant.

Plaintiff, a passenger on defendant’s train, was injured when the window next to her seat suddenly broke and fell on her. She had noticed that the window was loose and rattled; and the break came when there was a sudden lurch of the train. Defendant made no sufficient explanation. The question of fact of defendant’s negligence was submitted to the jury, which found a small verdict for plaintiff. Judgment unanimously affirmed, with costs. No opinion. Present — Young, Hagarty, Carswell, Davis and Johnston, JJ. [ 155 Misc. 573 .]
