Elsie Smith, Appellant, v. Thomas P. Smith, Jr., Respondent.
   The motion to resettle the order of this court dated March 20, 1936, is referred to the court that rendered the decision on the appeal. [See ante, p. 812.] Present — Lazansky, P. J., Hagarty, Carswell, Johnston and Adel, JJ. The motion is granted to the extent of amending the decision handed down on March 20, 1936, to read as follows: In an action for a separation, judgment dismissing the complaint upon the merits reversed upon the law and the facts, with costs, and judgment directed in favor of the plaintiff granting her judgment of separation, with costs, together with alimony for plaintiff’s maintenance in the sum of thirty-five dollars per week, from the date of the entry of the judgment hereon, based upon the ground of cruelty and inhuman conduct on the part of the defendant. We are of the opinion that the record discloses such conduct on the part of the defendant as to render it improper and unsafe for the plaintiff to live with the defendant. Findings of fact 4 and 5 and the conclusion of law of the decision are reversed and plaintiff’s proposed findings of fa.ct and conclusions of law, as set forth in the record, are found, as follows: Findings of fact 4, 5, 7, 9, 10,11, JL2,15, 16,17, 18,19, 20, 21, 24, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32 and 33. Conclusions of law 1, 2 and 4 are also found. And this court further finds as a conclusion of law that the plaintiff is entitled to an allowance of alimony from the defendant for her own maintenance in the sum of thirty-five dollars per week, to begin from the time of the entry of the judgment hereon. The matter is remitted to the Special Term to make and enter a judgment in accordance herewith. Lazansky, P. J., Young, Davis and Adel, JJ., concur; Johnston, J., dissents and votes to affirm.
