New York Court of Appeals October 17, 1947 (Leonard v. Home Owners' Loan Corp.)

Per Curiam.

In its charge the trial court instructed the jury that a verdict could not be rendered against defendant New York Telephone Company unless it was shown that that defendant “ caused or contributed to cause ” the brick — over which the infant plaintiff tripped — to fall in the alleyway. No objection having been made by plaintiffs, that charge became the law of the case.
