Opinion of the Court

Judgment of the County Court of Suffolk County, convicting the defendants of maintaining a public nuisance in the manner in which a shelter for the prevention of cruelty to animals was conducted, reversed on the law and the indictment dismissed. The proof was inadequate to establish a public nuisance under section 1530 of the Penal Law. (People v. Brooklyn & Queens Transit Corp., 283 N. Y. 484; People v. Cooper, 200 App. Div. 413.) Lazansky, P. J., Johnston, Adel, Taylor and Close, JJ., concur.
