Wentworth F. Chapman, Appellant, v. Long Island Daily Press Publishing Co., Inc., William F. Hofmann, Samuel L. Newhouse and Matthew Napear, Respondents.
   Action for libel. Judgment for the defendants unanimously affirmed, with costs. In view of the jury’s verdict in favor of the defendants other than Hofmann, the dismissal as to the latter presents no practical question. (Featherston v. N. & C. Turnpike, 71 Hun, 109, 111; Wolf v. Kenyon, 242 App. Div. 116; Good Health Dairy Products Corp. v. Emery, 275 N. Y. 14; Freeman on Judgments [5th ed.], § 469, pp. 1031,1032.) Present — Lazansky, P.
