CITY OF BUFFALO v. NEW YORK, L. E. & W. R. CO. (No. 2.)
(Superior Court of Buffalo,
General Term.
May, 1893.)
Appeal from municipal court.
Action by the city of Buffalo against the New York, Lake Erie & Western Railroad Company. There was a judgment for plaintiff, and defendant appeals. Affirmed.
Argued before TITUS, C. J., and HATCH and WHITE, JJ.
Sprague, Morey, Sprague & Brownell, for appellant
George M. Browne, for respondent.

Opinion:
TITUS, C. J.
The facts in this case are similar in all respects to the facts in the case bearing the same title, and designated "No. 1." 23 N. Y. Supp. 303. It was stipulated on the trial that the evidence taken in No. 1 should be considered as applicable to this case. The plaintiff here claims that the defendant violated section 1, c. 5, of the city ordinances, in crossing Main street at a greater rate of speed than six miles an hour. A judgment of §50 was given against the defendant by the court below. It was determined in the other case that the ordinance regulating the rate of speed was not invalid, and the plaintiff was entitled to recover. It appears here, and is un•disputed, that on the 25th day of March, 1892, the defendant did pass its train across Main street at a greater rate of speed than six miles an hour. The facts being undisputed, the judgment of the court below should be .affirmed, with costs. All concur.
