and 123 New York State Reporter

from the part not appealed from was not inconsistent with appellant's act in appealing from the balance.-Ziadi v. Interurban St. Ry. Co. (Sup.) 606.

Error cannot be predicated of objectionable remarks of the court during a trial, concerning which no request was made or exception taken. -Diamond v. Planet Mills Mfg. Co. (Sup.) 635. Exception to portion of charge held sufficient to raise the question of its correctness on appeal.-Diamond v. Planet Mills Mfg. Co. (Sup.)

§ 5. Effect of transfer of cause or proceedings therefor.

After service of a notice of appeal from an order denying a motion for a bill of particulars in part, the Special Term was without power to set aside the order appealed from, or to make another order that the previous one stand. -Ziadi v. Interurban St. Ry. Co. (Sup.) 606. § 6. Record and proceedings not in reoord.

Under Code, § 1237, providing what papers shall constitute the judgment roll, and not specifying notices of trial as such, notices of trial cannot be included in the judgment roll, and must be stricken therefrom on motion.-Sweeny v. Kellogg (Sup.) 314.

An appeal book, showing that a motion for an amendment of an answer was granted and an exception taken, sufficiently shows that plaintiff duly excepted to such amendment.-Robinson v. Lampel (Sup.) 853.

87. Review.

Though a case has been tried three times with the same result, the appellate court will set aside the verdict where it has no evidence to support it. Sergent v. Liverpool & London & Globe Ins. Co. (Sup.) 35.

| dence was insufficient to go to the jury, though defendant did not move for a nonsuit at the close of the evidence in the trial court.-Dickinson v. Oliver (Sup.) 52.

A contention on appeal that plaintiff should have been allowed to establish by parol a costract independent of one set out in his com plaint held inconsistent with a contention that he should have been allowed to explain the contract in the complaint by parol.-Thompson v. Erie R. Co. (Sup.) 92.

The improper reception in evidence of a deposition of a party who testified on trial to the same facts that appeared in the deposition Acid not prejudicial.-Hetzel v. Easterly (Sup.) 154

A motion to strike out as inadmissible evidence

which has been offered and received without objection is addressed to the discretion of the court. Hetzel v. Easterly (Sup.) 154.

The admission of incompetent and prejudicial testimony is not cured by other proof, however strong, in support of the verdict.-Carpenter v. New York Evening Journal Pub. Co. (Sup.) 263.

On an issue as to whether defendant's testator had received from plaintiff certain shares of stock to sell at an agreed price, the admis sion of testator's books held prejudicial error.— Linden v. Thieriot (Sup.) 273.

Introduction of evidence of changes in the premises after the accident held reversible error, notwithstanding an instruction that it was not to be considered on the question of nestgence.-Russell v. New York Cent. & H. R. R. Co. (Sup.) 429.

Where, in an action for malicious prosecn tion, plaintiff had previously read the official record thereof, showing the decision in the manner and form prescribed by Code Cr. Proc § 207, he was not prejudiced by the court's exclusion of the decision of the judge in s charging plaintiff.-Parr v. Loder (Sup.) 823

Where an order granting a new trial under Code Civ. Proc. § 999, did not specify the ground, it would be presumed that it was based on an exception taken at the trial.-Robinson v. Lampel (Sup.) 853.

The fact that exceptions are not discussed in the brief of appellant does not prevent the court on appeal from considering them and basing a reversal thereon.-Purcell v. Hoffman House (Sup.) 975.

A party nonsuited is entitled to the most favorable inferences which a jury might have drawn from the evidence.-Coleman v. Robert Graves Co. (Sup.) 1040.

in the Supreme Court, a statement by the judge In an action for injuries, properly brought that the action should not have been brought in that court, because the injuries were not sufficiently serious, held prejudicial error.-Me Mahon v. Metropolitan St. Ry. Co. (Sup.) 1062.

§ 8. Determination and disposition of

cause.

because there was no decision filed, as required

ment, which could not be reversed without prej-
udice to defendant.-Electric Boat Co. v. Howey
(Sup.) 210.

plaint held required, in order to establish cer-
tain rights of plaintiff, though it should be con-
ceded that he was entitled_to_only nominal
damages.-Rollins v. Sidney B. Bowman Cycle

takings.

An unnecessary undertaking on appeal from
Special Term held unenforceable, in the ab-
sence of an order to make it effectual as a stay,

eration sufficient to make it a common-law ob-
ligation. Mossein v. Empire State Surety Co.
