KILLIAN v. AMERICAN WEST AFRICAN LINE, INC

Supreme Court, Special Term, New York County.
Dec 1, 1936

VALENTE, J.

Motion to dismiss the second cause of action is denied. The statutes dealing with personal injury actions have no application here, because the case is contractual in nature. ( Pacific Steamship Co. v. Peterson, 278 U.S. 130; 49 S.Ct. 75; 73 L.Ed. 220.) It, therefore, survives death and passes to the legal representative of the deceased. Order signed.
