Anne J. Wallace and William H. Wallace, Jr., Appellants, v. Alfred V. S. Olcott, as Receiver of Hudson River Day Line, Respondent.

Action in negligence by Anne J. Wallace, who, while a passenger on the Hudson River boat, the Robert Fulton, slipped on linoleum and fractured the patella of her right knee; and by her husband to recover for loss of services and the cost of medical attention. The wife received a verdict for $5,000; the husband, for $1,500. They appeal from an order setting aside the verdicts and granting a new trial on the ground that the verdicts are against the weight of the evidence. Order unanimously affirmed, with costs. No opinion. Present — Lazansky, P. J., Young, Carswell, Johnston and Taylor, JJ.
