Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
Jan 1, 1909
130 App. Div. 873 (N.Y. App. Div. 1909)

Opinion

January, 1909.

Present — Patterson, Ingraham, Laughlin, Clarke and Scott, JJ.


Judgment reversed and new trial granted, with costs to appellant to abide event, upon the ground that a question of fact was presented which should have been submitted to the jury as to the negligence of the defendant's servant.


I dissent upon the ground that it was not negligent for the street cleaner to turn on the hydrant, a horse and wagon being twenty-five feet or more from the hydrant; as such an accident as happened could not have been anticipated and that, therefore, there was no evidence to justify submitting the question of defendant's negligence to the jury. Judgment reversed, new trial ordered, costs to appellant to abide event.
