We accept the version of defendant’s counsel that the juror failed to acquaint him with the information that, at the time he wás accepted as a juror, there wás then pending in the same Court an action by his wife against this defendant. In the interest of substantial justice there should be a new trial. Lazansky, P. J., Carswell, Johnston, Adel and Taylor, JJ., concur. [See unte, p. 577.]
