CELLAMARE v. THIRD AVE. TRANSIT CORP

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department.
Mar 1, 1948

Per Curiam.

It was prejudicial error to permit plaintiff's expert medical witness, who took X-ray pictures of the plaintiff, to testify, over defendant's objection and exception, to matters shown on the X rays and to findings based thereon, without producing the X-ray pictures and introducing them in evidence (3 Wigmore on Evidence, ยง 795; Gursslin v. Helenboldt, 259 App. Div. 1064; Marion v. Coon Construction Co., 216 N.Y. 178; O'Mara v. Curtin, 268 App. Div. 888). The judgment should be reversed and a new trial ordered, with costs to the appellant to abide the event.

PECK, P.J., COHN, CALLAHAN, VAN VOORHIS and SHIENTAG, JJ., concur.

Judgment unanimously reversed and a new trial ordered with costs to the appellant to abide the event. Settle order on notice.
