PBYOB, J.,
(concurring.) In Sternberger v. Railroad Co., (Com. Pl. N. Y.) 20 N. Y. Supp. 857, a case similar to the present, I directed the jury that, in any event, the plaintiffs were entitled to' a verdict for nominal damages; and in Hoffman v. Railroad Co., (Com. Pl. N. Y.) 20 N. Y. Supp. 625, I stated obiter the same doctrine, citing Newman v. Railway Co., 118 N. Y. 618, 23 N. E. Rep. 901, and Bohm v. Railway Co., 129 N. Y. 576, 29 N. E. Rep. 802. Such was was my conception of the law, and that I was in the right is shown by the above very satisfactory argument of Judge BISCHOFF.
GHEG-EBIGH, J., concurs.
