Coffey v. New York City Railway Co.

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Feb 25, 1907
117 App. Div. 670 (N.Y. App. Div. 1907)

Opinion

February 25, 1907.

Frederick Hulse, for the appellant.

Joseph F. Daly, for the respondent.


The order setting aside the verdict and granting a new trial, from which the plaintiff appeals, recites that the motion was made upon the ground, amongst others, that the verdict was against the weight of evidence.

In a memorandum opinion, the learned trial court stated views respecting the case, in which we do not concur. It is the order, however, which governs our consideration of the appeal and not the opinion. Treating the motion as made upon the ground that the verdict was against the weight of evidence, as we must, the facts disclosed by the record are such that we do not feel justified in interfering with the discretion exercised by the trial court in making such an order.

The order granting a new trial is, therefore, affirmed, with costs.

PATTERSON, P.J., LAUGHLIN and LAMBERT, JJ., concurred; INGRAHAM, J., concurred in result.

Order affirmed, with costs. Order filed.
