Charlotte A. Baldwin, Appellant v. The New York Central & H. R. R. R. Co., Respondent.
    Decided October 25, 1888.
    Appeal by plaintiff from a judgment dismissing her complaint in an action brought-to recover damages from alleged negligence of defendant’s servants.
    Samuel H. Randall, for appellant. Henry H. Anderson, for respondent.
    Before Sedgwick, Ch. J., and Ingraham, J.
   The only evidence of negligence was a release which defendant received from plaintiff. A point was sought to be raised which was not taken below. The Court held (Per Curiam) “ that the release was not an admission of liability; that on appeal the court could only examine the action of the court below upon matters actually presented on the trial; and affirmed the judgment.”
