LOMBARD, Respondent, v. BROOKLYN CITY R. CO., Appellant.
(City Court of Brooklyn, General Term.
December 26, 1893.)

Headnote

Action by Frances F. Lombard against the Brooklyn City Railroad Company.
Morris & Whitehouse, for appellant
Thos. E. Pearsall, for respondent

The defendant in this case conceded its liability, and its counsel seeks a new trial only on the ground that the damages fixed by the jury were excessive. We have carefully examined the appellant’s, brief and the printed record, and conclude that we should not set aside the verdict, as it does not appear from the evidence to have been the result of sympathy or prejudice. Judgment and order denying new trial affirmed,, with costs.
