Sullivan v. Brooklyn Heights R.R. Co.

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Oct 18, 1907
121 App. Div. 527 (N.Y. App. Div. 1907)

Opinion

October 18, 1907.

A.M. Williams, for the appellant.

Henry Morris Haviland, for the respondent.


This case as finally submitted to the trial court presented a question of fact as to whether or not the passenger by adequate word or sign requested a transfer from the conductor at the time he paid his fare. This question was decided in favor of the plaintiff. I am of opinion that the decision upon the facts was justified by the evidence.

This being so, the question of law presented in behalf of the appellant as to the reasonableness of the rule requiring the request for the transfer to be made at the time of paying the fare, is not involved in this case.

The judgment of the Municipal Court should, therefore, be affirmed, with costs.

HIRSCHBERG, P.J., JENKS, HOOKER and MILLER, JJ., concurred.

Judgment of the Municipal Court affirmed, with costs.
