Appeal from Special Term, New York County.
Action by Louise Zucker, administratrix of Simon Zucker, deceased, against Frederick W. Whitridge, receiver of the Third Avenue Railroad Company. From an order setting aside the verdict for plaintiff, and directing judgment for defendant, and from the judgment entered thereon, plaintiff appeals. Affirmed.
See, also, 205 N. Y. 50 , 98 N. E. 209 , 41 L. R. A. (N. S.) 683 , Ann. Cas. 1913D, 1250.
Julius Henry Cohen, of New York City, for appellant.
Frederick J. Moses, of New York City, for respondent.
We have carefully examined the evidence, and find no substantial or material difference between that given upon the present trial and that given upon the former trial, as to which the Court of Appeals said:
The majority of the court “are of the opinion that the decedent, upon the most, favorable view of the evidence that can be taken in the interest of the plaintiff, was guilty of contributory negligence as matter of law.”
p. 14
Relying, therefore, upon the opinion above quoted ( 205 N. Y. 50 , 98 N. E. 209 , 41 L. R. A. [N. S.] 683, Ann. Cas. 1913D, 1250), we are constrained to affirm the order and judgment.
Order and judgment affirmed, with costs.
