MERICAN, Respondent, v. METROPOLITAN ST. RY. CO., Appellant.
(City Court of New York, General Term.
December 27, 1899.)

Headnote

Action by Abraham Merican against the Metropolitan Street-Railway Company. From a judgment for plaintiff, and from an order denying a motion for a new trial, defendant appeals. Affirmed. Henry A. Robinson, for appellant. Max Altmayer, for respondent.

Appeal from a judgment in favor of the plaintiff on a verdict rendered by a jury, and from an order denying defendant’s motion for a new trial. The action is brought to recover damages for personal injuries sustained by plaintiff in alighting from one of defendant’s cars. The only point made in the appellant’s brief is that the verdict is against the weight of evidence. We maintain that the verdict is not against the weight of evidence. Judgment and order appealed from affirmed, with costs.
