Opinion

Argued January 21, 1892

Decided March 15, 1892

Louis Marshall for appellants.

Geo. Barrow, Goodelle Nottingham and Waters McLennan for respondents.



HAIGHT, J., reads for reversal.

All concur, except BRADLEY, VANN and BROWN, JJ., dissenting, who were of the opinion that, while the General Term might, with great propriety, have reversed the judgment upon the ground that the findings of the referee were opposed to the weight of evidence, still, as there was some evidence to support the referee's conclusion, this court could not interfere.

Judgment reversed.
