Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York

Decided October 12, 1909Published

Action by Rose L. Nicoud against the New York Life Insurance Company.

1Per curiam

Judgment reversed, and new trial granted, costs to abide the event, because the findings of fact are inconsistent and irreconcilable. See Israel v. Manhattan Ry. Co., 158 N. Y. 624, 53 N. E. 517: Nickell v. Tracy, 184 N. Y. 386, 77 N. E. 391; City of Buffalo v. Delaware, L. & W. R. Co., 190 N. Y. 84, 82 N. E. 513, 16 L. R. A. (N. S.) 506. In this case the trial court has found all the controlling facts both ways.
