Charlotte Springer, Respondent, v. Henry J. Duveen and Others, Composing the Firm of Duveen Brothers, Appellants.
    Appeal from orders of the Supreme Court, entered in the New York county clerk’s office on the 23d day of November, 1915, overruling the defendants’ demurrer to the first cause of action contained in the complaint and denying the defendants’ motion for judgment upon said cause of action and the demurrer thereto.
   Scott, J.:

The two orders appealed from involve the same question, to wit, the sufficiency of the first cause of action stated in the complaint, and for convenience have been argued and will be considered together. We have examined the cause of action demurred to and have carefully compared it with the complaint as to which a demurrer was sustained by this court on a former appeal (164 App. Div. 878), and are unable to find any substantial difference between them or anydifferenee at all except slight changes in the matter of verbiage. Upon the authority of our former decision, therefore, the cause of action demurred to is insufficient inlaw. It follows that, in so far as appealed from, each order must be reversed, with ten dollars costs and disbursements, and the demurrer to the first cause of action sustained and the motion for judgment upon said cause of action granted, with ten dollars costs. Inasmuch as this is plaintiff’s third, attempt to frame a sufficient complaint no leave to further amend will be granted. Clarke, P. J., McLaughlin, Smith and Davis, JJ., concurred. Orders reversed, with ten dollars costs and disbursements, and demurrer to first cause of action sustained, and motion granted, with ten dollars costs.
