Benjamin Bernhard, Appellant, v. David Cohen, Respondent.
    Appeal from an order of the General Term of the City Court, reversing an order of .the Special Term of the City Court, denying a motion to vacate, a warrant of attachment issued against the property of the'defendant.
    Platzek, Stroock & Herzog, for appellant.
    Nathán, Leventritt & Pefham (Harold Nathan of counsel), for respondent.
   Freedman, P. J.

The allegations contained in the affidavit upon which the attachment in this case was granted are equally as consistent with an honest intent on the part of-the defendant .as a. dishonest one.- Mere conjecture will not sustain an attachment. Proofs should be of such a character as to fairly justify no other conclusion than a dishonest purpose. The order of the General Term should be affirmed.

MacLeait, J., concurs; Levehtbitt, J., taking no part.

Order of the General Term, affirmed, with costs to respondent.
