   PER CURIAM.

It is evident that, in deducting the conceded counterclaim of $65.60 from the amount of plaintiffs’ gross claim of $231, by an error in subtraction the damages were calculated at $175.40, instead of $165.40.

The judgment in favor of plaintiffs will therefore be reduced to the sum of $184.71, and, as modified, affirmed, with costs.
