Charles Hoffman and Others, Respondents, v. The Manhattan Railway Company and Another, Appellants.

Judgment reversed, new trial ordered, costs to appellants to abide event.

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.

Present —Van Brunt, P. J., Follett and Parker, JJ.
