Gillespie v. Weinberg

Court of Appeals of the State of New York
Jan 21, 1896
148 N.Y. 238 (N.Y. 1896)

Opinion

Argued January 14, 1896

Decided January 21, 1896

Edward C. James for appellants.

G. Willett Van Nest for respondent.



We do not assent to the opinion of the trial court that the defendants are not entitled to use the alley in question to cart goods to and from their premises. We think the alley may be used for the passage of teams and vehicles as well as for foot travelers, so far as is necessary to the reasonable and proper use and enjoyment of the defendants' premises, although their uses and occupancy may have been changed. We so held in Arnold v. Fee ( 148 N.Y. 214). But as the judgment in no way restrains the defendants from passing and repassing to and from their premises, it should be affirmed.

The judgment should be affirmed, with costs.

All concur.

Judgment affirmed.
