Bessie A. Armondi, Appellant, v. Warren L. Dunham et al., Respondents.

      Armondi v. Dunham, 221 App. Div. 679, affirmed.
    (Argued May 31, 1928;
    decided June 19, 1928.)
    Appeal, by permission, from a judgment of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the third judicial department, entered November 29, 1927, unanimously affirming a judgment in favor of defendants entered upon a decision of the court on trial at Special Term. The action was in partition. The question was whether a conveyance to husband and wife by a deed which failed to mention the relationship and said nothing as to the nature of the estate conveyed, created a tenancy by the entirety or a tenancy in common. The courts below held that a tenancy by the entirety was created and that a deed from the survivor conveyed good title to the entire property.
    
      H. C. Stratton for appellant.
    
      Charles C. Flaesch for respondents.
   Judgment affirmed, with costs; no opinion.
