WACHAMAN, Appellant, v. BROOKLYN UNION ELEVATED R. CO., Respondent.
(Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Second Department.
July 30, 1915.)

Headnote

Action by Annie Wachaman against the Brooklyn Union Elevated Railroad Company.

Judgment and order of the County Court of Kings County reversed, and new trial ordered, costs to abide the event, on the ground that the damages for the physical injury to plaintiff’s eye are inadequate. We think that the issue as made by the pleadings did not entitle plaintiff to recover for any loss of earnings in her business.
