The opinion of the court was delivered by
This writ brings under review an' order of the Passaic Court of Common Pleas, made on the 18th day of December, 1912, under which the plaintiff in certiorari was ordered to pay the petitioner the sum of $6 per week for a period of three hundred weeks, under the act of the legislature approved April 4th,. 1911 (Pamph. L., pp. 134, 763), known as the Employers’ Liability act. The record shows that Sarah J. Jackson, the petitioner, was a sister of Walter H. Jackson, who suffered injuries, from which he died on July 24th, 1912. The trial court found,, as a fact, that the deceased was at the time of the accident in the employ of the Erie Eailroad Company, also, the petitioner was partially dependent upon the deceased, her brother. The record shows that the judge making the order had evidence before him which amply supports the order in these two particulars; hence this court will not sot the order aside, on either of these grounds, viz., that, at the time the deceased was killed, he was not in the employ
The judgment is affirmed.
