New York Court of Appeals

William Tilley v. the Hudson River Railroad Company.

March 5, 186429 N.Y. 252

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the lower court's judgment, holding that the trial judge’s jury instructions allowing consideration of a mother’s nurture, instruction, and moral, physical, and intellectual training as pecuniary injuries, permitting damages for children beyond minority, allowing prospective damages, and admitting evidence of the mother’s business capacity were proper. The court found no error in the trial proceedings.
