O'Brien v. Central R.R. Co. of N.J

Court of Errors and Appeals
Feb 3, 1930
148 A. 919 (N.J. 1930)

Opinion

Submitted October 26, 1929 —

Decided February 3, 1930.

On appeal from the Supreme Court, whose opinion is reported in 105 N.J.L. 544.

For the appellant, Alexander Simpson.

For the respondent, William A. Barkalow and Edwin F. Smith.


The judgment under review herein should be affirmed, for the reasons expressed in the opinion delivered by Mr. Justice Case in the Supreme Court.

We have not failed to observe that the appeal states as a ground of error that the Supreme Court considered the appeal as a rule to show cause. It did not. The opinion states that it is "on appeal from the Hudson County Circuit Court." It ends with the assertion that "the rule to show cause will be discharged, with costs." The case is not considered as on rule to show cause at all, but as on appeal throughout, and the conclusion of the opinion is an obvious mistake. It of course intended to state, "the judgment of the court below will be affirmed, with costs." And we have so treated it. For affirmance — THE CHANCELLOR, CHIEF JUSTICE, TRENCHARD, PARKER, KALISCH, BODINE, VAN BUSKIRK, McGLENNON, KAYS, HETFIELD, DEAR, JJ. 11.

For reversal — None.
