Jackson Architectural Iron Works, Respondent v. Henry A. Hurlbut, Jr., Appellants

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the judgment for the plaintiff, holding that the defendants, who were truckmen, were liable for negligence in unloading a planing machine and that the damages awarded for repair costs were proper. The court found no error in refusing a jury instruction on common‑carrier status, declined to consider contributory negligence, and held that evidence of loss of use was admissible but immaterial to the verdict.
