Head Matter:
Joseph L. Chambers et al., Respondents, v. Robert Hines, Appellant, et al., Defendants.

Opinion:
Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County, entered on May 12, 1971, after trial to a jury, unanimously reversed on the law, insofar as appealed from, without costs and without disbursements, and a verdict directed in favor of defendant-appellant Hines. If we did not direct a verdict, we would order a new trial as to defendant-appellant Hines, on the law and on the facts, as against the weight of credible evidence. The testimony given by Hines' passengers, the plain tiffs-respondents themselves, together with that of a disinterested witness, exculpated their driver. Concur — Markewich, J.
