Catherine Herlihy, with $60 costs and disbursements of this appeal to abide the event, and otherwise affirmed, unless the plaintiff-respondent Catherine Herlihy within 20 days of service upon her by the defendants-appellants of a copy of the order entered hereon, with notice of entry, serves and files in the office of the trial court a written stipulation consenting to reduce her verdict to $150,000 and to the entry of an amended judgment in accordance therewith.
