Majority
Judgment and order affirmed, with costs. AH concur, except Dowling, J., who dissents and votes for reversal and for granting a new trial on the ground that under the proof the defendant was a trespasser as matter of law and the motion for direction of a verdict should have been granted, and on the further ground that the verdict was against the weight of the evidence. (See Hay v. Cohoes Company, 2 N. Y. 159 ; Riegler v. Tribune Association, 40 App. Div. 324 ; St. Peter v. Denison, 58 N. Y. 416 ; Turner v. Degnon-McLean Contracting Co., 99 App. Div. 135 ; affd., 184 N. Y. 525 ; Keber v. Central Brewing Company of N. Y., 150 N. Y. Supp. 986 ; McCahill v. Parker Co., 49 Misc. 258 ; Bohan v. P. J. G. L. Co., 122 N. Y. 18 , 26; Sullivan v. Dunham, 161 id. 290; Olin v. United Electric Light and Power Co., 82 Misc. 427 ; Mayor etc., of N. Y. v. Law, 125 N. Y. 380 , 390; Guille v. Swan, 19 Johns. 381 ; Rochester Gas & Electric Corporation v. Dunlop, 148 Misc. 849 ; Kentucky Traction and Terminal Company v. Bain, 174 Ky. 679 ; 192 S. W. 656 ; 16 Neg. & Comp. Cases Anno. 328.) Losee v. Buchanan ( 51 N. Y. 476 ) is not an authority to the contrary. (The judgment is for defendants for no cause of action in an automobile negligence action. The order denies plaintiff’s motion for a directed verdict, or, in the alternative, for a new trial.) Present — Cunningham, Taylor, Dowling, Harris and McCurn, JJ.
