Albert Nelson, Appellant, v. Carl Bernard Ogilvie, Respondent.

Opinion:
Judgment reversed upon the law and new trial granted, costs to appellant to abide the event, upon the ground that it was error for the court to charge the jury in effect that as matter of law it is necessary for a pedestrian, when crossing a city street, not only to look as he begins crossing, but while crossing, for approaching vehicles. (Knapp v. Barrett, 216 N. Y. 226.) Kelly, P. J., Manning, Young, Lazansky and Hagarty, JJ., concur.
