GROSS

v. HUDSON & MANHATTAN R. R.

No. 414.

Supreme Court of New Jersey.

June 4, 1936.

Appeal from District Court of City of Hoboken.

Action by Gussie Gross against the Hudson & Manhattan Railroad Company. Judgment for plaintiff, and defendant appeals.

Affirmed.

Argued May term, 1936, before BODINE and HEHER, JJ.

Collins & Corbin, Edward A. Markley, and Patrick F. McDevitt, all of Jersey City, for appellant.

Feinberg & Feinberg, of Bayonne, for respondent.

PER CURIAM.

The defendant appeals from a judgment in favor of the plaintiff. The case was properly submitted to the jury, and the issues of negligence and contributory negligence were for them. McPherson v. Hudson & Manhattan R. Co., 100 N.J.Law, 262, 127 A. 23, affirmed 101 N.J.Law, 410, 128 A. 231. Suffice it to say, that it clearly appears from the proofs that after the plaintiff had boarded the defendant's train the door was suddenly closed before she could reach a place of safety. The door caught her left hand causing the injuries of which she complained. She was carrying a large bundle which made it necessary to enter sideways.

Judgment is affirmed with costs.
