    Appeal—Power of common pleas on appeal prom city court— Verdict.
    It is not in the power of the general term of Hew York common pleas to set aside a verdict given in the city court on the ground that it is against the weight of evidence.
    Appeal by plaintiff from a judgment of the general term of the city court, affirming a judgment entered against the plaintiff on the verdict of a jury, and also affirming an order denying plaintiff’s motion for a new trial on the minutes.
    
      Thornton, Earl & Kiendel, for app’lt; L. A. Qiegerich, for resp't.
   Per Curiam.

We think that a verdict for the plaintiff ought to have been rendered, but it is not in our power to set aside a verdict given in this city court, on the ground that it is against the weight of evidence.

We find no error that would justify a reversal in any of the rulings at the trial.

No course is open to us but to affirm the judgment and order appealed from, with costs.
