Minnie Koehne, Respondent, v. New York and Queens County Railway Company, Appellant

Minnie Koehne, Respondent, v. New York and Queens County Railway Company, Appellant. Koehne v. N. Y. & Queens Co. R. Co., 33 App. Div. 419, affirmed. (Submitted October 25, 1900; decided November 27, 1900.) Appeal from a judgment of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the second judicial department, entered August 8, 1808, affirming a judgment in favor of plaintiff entered upon a verdict, and an order denying a motion for a new trial. William E. Stewart for appellant. Byron P. -Stratton and Elmer G. Story for respondent. [MAJORITY — Martin, J.] Martin, J. This appeal cannot be sustained upon the theory that the previously existing law as to the degree of care required of carriers to insure the safety of their passengers has been changed by the decision in Stierle v. U. Ry. Co. (156 N. Y. 70, 684), for no such change was made or intended, as is manifest from the opinion delivered upon the motion for a reargument, where this court plainly declared that the decision in that case was not intended to, and did not, effect any such change, and as there are no other errors which would justify a reversal the judgment should be affirmed, with costs. Parker, Ch. J., Gray, Bartlett, Vann and Werner, JJ., concur; Cullen, J., not sitting. Judgment affirmed.
