Alois Lang and Antonio Deserto, Respondents, v. Bronx Waterworks Corporation, Appellant.
   In an action to recover damages for injuries by water to crops growing on plaintiff’s farm land, judgment and order reversed on the facts and a new trial granted, costs to abide the event, unless within ten days from the entry of the order hereon plaintiffs stipulate to reduce to the sum of $3,500 the amount of the verdict rendered in their favor; in which event the judgment, as so reduced, and the order are affirmed, without costs. In our opinion the verdict is excessive. Lazansky, P. J., Adel and Close, JJ., concur; Hagarty and Davis, JJ., dissent and vote to affirm without modification.
