HERTZ v. MINZESHEIMER.
    (City Court of New York, General Term.
    October 23, 1894.)
    Appeal—Review—Weight op Evidence.
    A verdict on conflicting evidence will not be disturbed on appeal.
    Appeal from trial term.
    
      Action by Moses Hertz against Clara Minzesheimer for brokerage. From a judgment entered on a verdict in favor of plaintiff, and from an order directing a new trial, defendant appeals. Affirmed.
    Argued before EHRLICH, C. J., and NEWBURGER, J.
    Joel M. Marx, for appellant.
    Langbein Bros. & Langbein, for respondent.
   EHRLICH, C. J.

The action was for brokerage, and the contention narrowed down to the question whether the defendant was to pay the plaintiff $500, or one-half of 1 per cent, of the price received by the defendant, which latter sum, amounting to $157.50, defendant paid to the plaintiff, who received the same, and claimed it to be on account of the $500. The evidence is conflicting, and the jury, under a clear and impartial charge, found for the plaintiff. We find no reason to disturb the verdict, and the judgment entered thereon must be affirmed, with costs.
