36 Misc. 769

Streep v. McLoughlin

Appellate Terms of the Supreme Court of New York · decided 1901-10-15

Appeal by defendants from affirmance by the general term of the City Court of a judgment entered on a verdict in favor of plaintiff, and an order denying motion for a new trial.

Relies on Pollock v. . Pennsylvania Iron Works Company

Decided 1901-10-15

McAdam, J.

¶1The action was for wrongful discharge and the main issue, whether the hiring was by the year as claimed by the plaintiff, or by the week as urged by the defendants.

¶2The jury found for the plaintiff, and as no motion for a dismissal of the complaint or direction of a verdict was made at the close of the plaintiff’s case, the defendants conceded the plaintiff’s right to have the issues submitted to the jury. Pollock v. Tenn. Iron Works, 157 N. Y. 699, 700.

¶3Under the circumstances we must regard the finding of the jury as conclusively settling the facts (Rowe v. Comley, 11 Daly, 317; Briscoe v. Litt, 19 Misc. Rep. 5, 8; Bogan v. Wright, 22 id. 96; Mahoney v. O’Neill, 29 id. 619, 620), and as there is no-merit in the exceptions, the judgment and order appealed from must be affirmed, with costs.

¶4Freedman, P. J., and Gildersleeve, J., concur.

¶5Judgment and order affirmed, with costs.
