New York Court of Appeals

Kate v. Moebus, Respondent, v. Henry Herrmann, Appellant

February 10, 1888108 N.Y. 349

Summary

The Court affirmed the judgment, holding that a pedestrian, including a child, may cross a city street anywhere and the driver of a horse‑drawn wagon must be watchful at all points; the driver was negligent, and the trial court was correct in refusing to charge the jury that the child failed to exercise any vigilance.
