Ketcham v. Wilbur

Court of Appeals of the State of New York
Mar 24, 1931
177 N.E. 125 (N.Y. 1931)

Opinion

Argued February 11, 1931

Decided March 24, 1931

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Fourth Department.

Henry E. Newell for appellant.

Mark E. Conan and Willis H. Michell for respondent.


Upon the record in this case, the trial judge was not required, if indeed he had the power, under a fair construction of the statute, to add interest to the verdict.

The question of the constitutionality of the statute is not involved or considered.

The order should be affirmed, with costs, and the question certified answered in the negative.

CARDOZO, Ch. J., POUND, CRANE, LEHMAN, KELLOGG, O'BRIEN and HUBBS, JJ., concur.

Order affirmed, etc.
