Michael Halloran and Diego Paccione, Appellants, v. N. & C. Contracting Company, Respondent.
   Upon reargument, order granting defendant’s motion to set aside the verdict and grant a new trial affirmed, with costs. We are of opinion that under section 861 of the Penal Law, the oral contract set forth in the complaint is void. Rich, Young and Kapper, JJ., concur; Hagarty, J., not voting; Lazansky, P. J., dissents, being of opinion that the section of the Penal Law in question is unconstitutional, and still holding to his views expressed in the former decision of this court,
