COLGATE et al., Appellants, v. NEW YORK CENT. & H. R. R. CO., Respondent.
(Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Second Department.
November 22, 1907.)

Headnote

Action by Susan F. Colgate and others, as trustees, etc., of James B. Colgate, deceased; and James C. Colgate and Austen Colgate, as executors, etc., against the New York Central & Hudson River Railroad Company.

Judgment ( 51 Misc. Rep. 503 , 100 N. Y. Supp. 650 ) modified, so far as to permit the defendant to enforce subdivision “k” of rule 14, on the ground that -there is not sufficient evidence to show that said rule is not reasonably necessary to insure the safe management of the defendant’s trains, and, as thus modified, the judgment is affirmed, without costs.

HOOKER, J., votes to affirm without modification.
