HACKETT, Respondent, v. METROPOLITAN ST. R. CO., Appellant.

(City Court of New York,

General Term.

May 26, 1899.)

Headnote

Action by Lucy Haekett against the Metropolitan Railroad Company. There was a judgment for plaintiff, and defendant appeals.

Affirmed.

Judgment affirmed, with costs. The evidence shows that in crossing the defendant’s tracks the plaintiff exercised due caution. The injuries complained of were severe. The verdict was a reasonable one. These injuries were caused by defendant’s negligence in turning the corner at Fifty-Third street west and Ninth avenue. The evidence shows that defendant’s car was going very fast,—in fact, unreasonably fast,—thus running down plaintiff and injuring her.
