Order affirmed, with costs. No opinion. Kleinfeld, Acting P. J., Christ, Hill and Raibin, JJ., concur; Brennan, J., dissents and votes to modify the order as indicated in the following memorandum: In my opinion, the liability of the bank to pay the amount demanded should be conditioned upon the judgment creditor producing’ *741the passbook or filing an undertaking for twice the amount to save the bank harmless. The Special Term should have taken cognizance of the limitation upon withdrawals or payments contained in the contract between the bank and its depositor, to which the account was subject (cf. Yonkers-Cameo v. Liossatos, 262 App. Div. 996; Elvira Apts. v. Kidd, 259 App. Div. 874).
