   GAYNOR, J.

A judgment for the plaintiff being reversed, she then moved for leave to amend her complaint by a new allegation of negligence, as the ground of reversal was such that recovery could not be had on the original allegation of negligence. The motion was granted on payment of $30. The terms should have been payment of all costs after service of the answer. McEntyre v. Tucker, 40 App. Div. 444, 58 N. Y. Supp. 146; Rosenberg v. Feiering, 124 App. Div. 522, 108 N. Y. Supp. 941.

The order must be modified accordingly.

Order modified, in accordance with the opinion of GAYNOR, J., and, as so modified, affirmed, without costs. All concur.
