New York Court of Appeals December 1, 1891 (Dollard v. . Roberts)

Bbadley, J.

The alleged cause of action for loss of service and medical expenses was in the consequences of the injury to the plaintiff’s daughter; and the liability of the defendant was dependent upon the fact that the injury was solely attributable to his negligent failure to perform a duty assumed by him in his relation of landlord to the plaintiff as his tenant.
