New York Court of Appeals

Samuel Gurney v. the Atlantic and Great Western Railway Company

September 29, 187458 N.Y. 358

Summary

The Court reversed the lower courts' orders, affirmed the referee's report on Naylor & Co.'s claim, and held that the railway could retain defective frogs and recover damages, and that the term “employes” includes professional services, so Jeremiah S. Black's claim is payable.
