   PER CURIAM.

In this action by plaintiff as a material man against the defendant as a contractor to recover moneys due a subcontractor, consideration for the order upon which the action was based was shown by evidence of materials furnished by the plaintiff to the houses in the construction of which the defendant was engaged as contractor, thus distinguishing this from the case of Shaw v. Tonns, 20 App. Div. 39, 46 N. Y. Supp. 545. Otherwise, there was only a question of fact to be determined, and the judgment entered upon its determination by the jury upon a charge calling for no criticism by this court may stand.

Judgment affirmed, with costs.
