Leo C. Dessar, as Executor, etc., Respondent, v. Charles S. Hirsch and Others, as Executors, etc., Appellants.
    Appeal from a determination of the Appellate Term reversing an order of the City Court which denied plaintiff’s motion to set aside a verdict and for a new trial, and ordering judgment in favor of the plaintiff.
   Per Curiam:

We think there was a question of fact as to whether the person writing the letter was an agent of the decedent and authorized to make a lease of the property for her, which was fairly submitted to the jury, and its verdict should not be disturbed. It follows that the determination of the Appellate Term reversing the order denying a motion for a new trial and dismissing the complaint should be reversed, with costs in this court and in the Appellate Term, and the order of the City Court affirmed. Present — Ingraham, P. J., Laughlin, Clarke, Scott and Dowling, JJ. Determination reversed, with costs in this court and in the Appellate Term, and order of City Court affirmed. Order to be settled on notice.
