    HOFF, Respondent, v. COMMEIGHT, Appellant.
    (City Court of New York, General Term.
    March 19, 1895.)
    Action by Louisa Hoff, as administratrix, against Jean Commeight.
    Louis Mathot, for appellant. ICudlich & Finck, for respondent.
   NEWBURGER, J.

The plaintiff, as administratrix of her mother’s estate, brings this action to recover certain moneys which she charges the defendant wrongfully obtained. It appears that the plaintiff’s mother was sick with paralysis, and on the 14th day of September, 1892, was taken to the French Hospital for treatment. The defendant was her physician before she went to the hospital, and it appears it was he who suggested her being taken there, where she died on the 22d day of November of the same year. It further appears that, during the si ay of the plaintiff’s intestate at the hospital, tho defendant, who was then one of the regular staff of physicians of the hospital, obtained of the decedent a bank book issued by the Manhattan Savings Institution, and thereafter presented to the savings institution three drafts, amounting to the sum of $354, which the bank paid. Plaintiff claims that the drafts were not the act of plaintiff’s intestate, in that during the whole time she was in the hospital, including the dates of the alleged execution of the drafts, she was mentally incapacitated, and unable to understand the nature and character of the transaction, and incapable of assenting to the execution of the drafts. The ease was properly submitted to the jury by the trial justice, and a careful reading of the printed case fails to disclose any error in the admission' of testimony that would warrant us in disturbing the verdict of the jury. The judgment appealed from must be affirmed, with costs.
