Helen A. Stevenson, Respondent, v. Brooklyn and Queens Transit Corporation, Appellant.
   In an action to recover damages for personal injuries sustained while plaintiff, a passenger of defendant railroad company, was alighting from one of its cars, plaintiff had a verdict. Judgment reversed on the facts and a new trial granted, with costs to abide the event, on the ground that the verdict is against the weight of the evidence. Johnston, Adel and Close, JJ., concur; Lazansky, P. J., and Hagarty, J., dissent and vote to affirm the judgment.
