CURTIN, Respondent, v. METROPOLITAN ST. RY. CO., Appellant.
(City Court of New York, General Term.
October 26, 1897.)

Headnote

Action by Ann Curtin against the Metropolitan Street-Railway Company.
Henry A. Robinson, for appellant.
Alfred and Charles Steckler, for respondent.

Appeal from a judgment entered on a verdict of a jury, and from an order denying a motion for a new tral. This action was brought to recover damages for injuries sustained by the plaintiff, through the cars of the defendant, on the 4th day of October, 1895. The case is singularly free from exceptions, and we are asked to reverse the judgment on the ground that the plaintiff was guilty of contributory negligence. This question, we think, was fairly submitted to the jury, and the judgment ought not to he disturbed. Judgment affirmed, with costs. FITZSIMONS, J„ concurs.
