The case is almost identical with Friedman v. N. Y. & Harlem R. R. Co. (89 App. Div. 38; affd., 180 N. Y. 550). (See, also, McCarty v. Natural Carbonic Gas Co., 189 N. Y. 40.) The judgment should be reversed and complaint dismissed, with costs. Present— Ingraham, P. J., Laughlin, Scott, Dowling and Hotchkiss, JJ. Judgment reversed, with costs, and complaint dismissed, with cost 3. Order to be settled on notice.
