1Opinion of the Court
Chester, J.:
On a former trial the plaintifE had a verdict, and the judgment entered thereon was reversed, on appeal, on the ground that an improper rule of damages was applied. (115 App. Div. 744.)
The action was brought to recover damages claimed to have been sustained by the plaintifE by the alleged unlawful erection and maintenance by the defendant of a telephone line over the plaintiff’s lands. The jury on this trial found a verdict in favor of the defendant, and from the judgment entered thereon the plaintiff appeals. The only errors alleged are with respect to the admission of evidence.
