| N.Y. App. Term. | Mar 15, 1913

Bijur, J.

This judgment seems to have been rendered on the theory that a contract of employment which gave the plaintiff a “ drawing account of fifty dollars per week against commission at a fixed rate, etc.,” was not an agreement to pay fifty dollars per week absolutely, but only conditioned on the securing of orders. In this the learned *625court was in error. Schlesinger v. Burland, 42 Misc. 206" court="N.Y. Sup. Ct." date_filed="1903-12-15" href="https://app.midpage.ai/document/schlesinger-v-burland-5408703?utm_source=webapp" opinion_id="5408703">42 Misc. Rep. 206.

The exclusion of the so-called cross-examination of the plaintiff in a deposition, because the defendant declined to read the answers and plaintiff’s counsel thereupon offered to read them, also constituted reversible error.
