31 Misc. 752

Sejalon v. Woolverton

Appellate Terms of the Supreme Court of New York · decided 1900-04-15

Ahpeal by the plaintiff from a judgment of the Municipal Court of the city of Hew- York, borough of Manhattan, in favor of the defendant, upon a trial had, without a jury.

Relies on Whitworth v. . Erie Railway Company

Decided 1900-04-15

Per Curiam.

¶1There was sufficient evidence adduced upon the trial to warrant the justice in finding, as is assumed from the judgment, that the wheels were transported by the defendant, under a special contract, at the plaintiff’s risk of damage.

¶2The burden was therefore upon the plaintiff to show facts taking the case out of the operation of the exemption clause. Whitworth v Erie R. Co., 87 N. Y. 413, 419; Canfield v. Baltimore & Ohio R. R. Co., 93 id. 532. This he wholly failed to do, and, under the circumstances, we have no alternative other than to affirm, the judgment.

¶3Present: Beekmait, P. J., G-iegebioh and O’Gobmait, JJ.

¶4Judgment affirmed; with costs.
