    Appeal and Ebbob (§ 1002*)—Review—Vebdict Against Weight of Evidence. •

    Appeal from Trial Term, Westchester County.
    Action by Richard Powers Phelan against the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad Company. Judgment for the plaintiff, and defendant appeals. Affirmed.
    Argued before JENKS, P. J., and BURR, CARR, RICH, and PUTNAM, JJ.
    I. R. Oeland, of Brooklyn, for appellant.
    Thomas J. O’Neill, of New York City (L. F. Fish, of New York City, on the brief), for respondent.
   PER CURIAM.

While we look upon this case as a close one, both upon the law and the facts, we think that the question of the defendant’s negligence cannot be disposed of as one of law. Nor do we think that, considering the sharp conflict of evidence, and the serious questions of credibilty which arose upon the trial, we should be justified in setting aside the verdict of the jury as against the weight of evidence.

The judgment and order should be affirmed, with costs.
