McGEE, Appellant, v. UNITED STATES CASUALTY CO., Respondent.
(Supreme Court, Appellate Term.
May 23, 1905.)

Headnote

Appeal from Municipal Court, Borough of Manhattan, First District. Action by John O. McGee against the United States Casualty Company. Judgment for defendant, and plaintiff appeals. Affirmed.
R. L. Pritchard, for appellant.
Carl Schurz Petrasch, for respondent.

The plaintiff himself testified in effect that, if he settled Mr. Crosby’s claim for $1,000, the defendant promised to give him, the plaintiff, $200. The evidence shows that Mr. Crosby’s claim was not settled for $1,000, and therefore plaintiff was not entitled to receive the $200. The judgment appealed from is affirmed, with costs.
