BREEN v. SANTANONI CONTRACTING CO. DONOHUE v. SAME.
(Supreme Court, Appellate Division, First Department.
May 5, 1916.)

Headnote

Appeals from Trial Term, New York County. Actions by Alice Breen and by Mary Donohue against the Santanoni Contracting Company. From judgments entered upon verdicts, and from orders denying motions for new trials, defendant appeals. Judgments and orders reversed, and new trials ordered.

We are of opinion that the verdicts of the jury that the defendant was guilty of negligence are against the weight of evidence. The judgments and orders appealed from are therefore reversed and new trials ordered, with costs to the appellant to abide the event.
