Katherine F. Chesebrough, as Administratrix v. Daniel D. Conover, Appellant

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the judgment for the plaintiff, holding that the contract for drafting and explaining legislative bills was not void as against public policy, that the trial court's refusal to discharge the jury after a prejudicial remark was not reversible error, that the admission of rebuttal testimony concerning a alleged blackmail claim was not error, and that the erroneous jury instruction on damages did not affect the verdict.
