Head Matter:
HERBER, Respondent, v. NILES, Appellant.
(City Court of New York, General Term.
October 26, 1897.)
Action by Ferdinand Herber against Nathaniel Niles. H. T. Brennan, for appellant. A. & C. Steckler, for respondent.

Opinion:
SCHUCHMAN, J.
This is an -appeal from a judgment entered on the verdict of a jury in favor of the plaintiff, and from the order denying the defendant's motion for a new trial. There is but one exception in the case, viz. to the denial of the motion to dismiss when the plaintiff rested his case. The question relied on by the appellant is as to whether the verdict is against the weight of the evidence. The motion for a nonsuit was not renewed at the close of the whole case, nor was a motion for a direction made. Both parties' accepted the situation, with respect to submitting the case to the jury. Unuer a charge to which no exception was taken, the jury found for the plaintiff, and we cannot say that the finding is against the weight of the evidence. Judgment and order appealed from affirmed, with costs. FITZSIMONS, J., concurs.
