Seaward v. Tasker
New York Supreme Court
Trial by court with jury. At the close of the evidence the court directed a verdict for the plaintiff, and reserved its decision on the motion of defendant to set the same aside.
1Opinion of the CourtScudder, J.
Upon the trial the evidence introduced consisted chiefly of a judgment roll, the printed cases on various appeals, and other court records. It being impossible to examine these records upon the trial, the court directed a verdict for the plaintiff, and reserved its decision on the motion to set aside the verdict, in order that a thorough examination of the records might be made and the merits of the controversy determined. It was stipulated on the trial that if anything had not been admitted in evidence, which the court might re*571gard as material, it might be admitted in evidence at any time.
