1Opinion of the CourtPound, J.
Plaintiff sued to recover damages for personal injuries sustained by him. While riding on a bicycle he was struck by a- Ford delivery car negligently driven. Plaintiff’s theory of the case was that the car which hit him was driven by Cornelius Gleason and that Gleason was at the time of the accident an employee of defendant, acting in defendant’s business. Gleason denied that the accident occurred. Defendant took the position that in any event Gleason was an employee of an independent contractor for whose acts it was not liable. (Wagner v. Motor Truck Renting Corp., 234 N. Y. 31.)
