UNEEDA HOME APPLIANCES, INC., Respondent, v. LONG ISLAND RAIL ROAD COMPANY, Appellant, et al., Defendant

Per Curiam.

Plaintiff may not recover for damages to its goods in the absence of a showing that they were delivered to defendant carrier in a good condition ( Orunstein v. New York Cent. R.R. Co., 179 App. Div. 465). This burden is not met by a recital in the bill of lading that the goods were received in apparent good order ( Miller v. Hannibal St. Joseph R.R. Co., 90 N.Y. 430; Jean, Garrison Co. v. Flagg, 45 Misc. 421). In the interests of justice plaintiff should be afforded an opportunity to develop its proof on this aspect of the case.

The judgment should be unanimously reversed and a new trial ordered, with $30 costs to defendant to abide the event.

BROWN, McDONALD and SCHWARTZWALD, JJ., concur.

Judgment reversed, etc.
