Osborn v. Gurtner

The opinion of the court was delivered by Trenohard, J. This is an appeal from a judgment of the Second District Court of the city of Newark. The action was for rent of premises No. 482 Broad street, Newark, New Jersey, alleged to be due to the plaintiff from the defendants. [225] The cause was tried before the judge without a jury, and a judgment for plaintiff rendered. The only reason urged for reversal is the refusal of the trial judge to render a judgment for the defendants. An examination of the state of the case shows that the motion for judgment for the defendants specified no grounds for the allowance of such motion, and therefore raised no legal question for the determination of the trial court.
