Goodwin v. Washburn

City of New York Municipal Court

Decided October 15, 1900

City of New York Municipal Court · decided 1900-10-15

<p>Appeal from a judgment of the City Court of the city of New York after a trial of the issues before a jury.</p>

Decided 1900-10-15

Conlan, J.

¶1The action is for labor and services, and for materials furnished; it is admitted that the work was done and the materials furnished, but the distinct defense is that the liability was not one for the defendants individually, but was against the executors of one Benjamin Richardson, deceased. This issue was distinctly presented to the jury upon all the evidence, and no exception was taken by the defendants to the whole or any part of the charge. With the province of the jury in determining disputed questions of fact the court on appeal is not inclined to interfere, unless it distinctly appears that the result was reached. through prejudice or undue influence or willful disregard of the evidence adduced on the trial, and as no such element appears by the record, we think the judgment appealed from should be affirmed, with costs.

¶2Fitzsimons Ch. J., and Hascall, J., concur.

¶3Judgment affirmed, with costs.
