New York City Court · decided 1892-12-15

The facts are stated in the charge of the trial justice, Osbobne, J.: “ Gentlemen of the J uby — There is just one issue in this case for you to determine, and as you determine that issue so will your verdict be, and that is what was the bargain or arrangement or agreement between these parties on the 1st of June, 1891, when the plaintiff went to the defendant’s glass works and entered into this transaction in reference to these lamps and chimneys. “ It is not disputed that,…

Decided 1892-12-15

Van Wyck, J.

¶1According to the pleadings and the charge of the trial judge, the right of plaintiff to recover was defeated if the goods contracted to be purchased from the defendant, were, in law, delivered upon the complete manufacture thereof, though remaining in defendant’s factory. The testimony tends to show, and the jury thereupon finds, that the plaintiff *436agreed to purchase, at fixed prices, certain goods from the defendant, to be manufactured, the defendant agreeing to retain possession thereof at his own risk till they were actually delivered upon plaintiff's orders. We see no reason to disturb this finding of the jury that the goods were not delivered. The testimony that the goods were to be retained by defendant at his own risk till they were actually delivered upon plaintiff’s orders, was clearly admissible under the pleadings, to show that it was the intention of the parties that nothing short of actual manual delivery, on plaintiff’s orders, should be deemed a delivery.

¶2Judgment and order must be be affirmed, with costs.

¶3Clement, Ch. J., concurs.

¶4Judgment affirmed.
