HOFFMAN et al., Respondents, v. MANHATTAN RY. CO. et al., Appellants.
(Supreme Court, General Term, First Department.
June 14, 1895.)

Headnote

Action by Charles Hoffman and others against the Manhattan Railway Company and others.
K. C. Morhous, for appellants.
E. M. Felt, for respondents.

We find no evidence justifying the large awards made in this action. What evidence was offered upon the part of the plaintiffs is unsatisfactory and inconclusive, and affords no sufficient basis for the judgment which has been entered. We think, therefore, that the judgment should be reversed, and a new trial ordered, with costs to the appellants to abide the event.
