In the Matter of the Liquidation of Preferred Accident Insurance Company of New York. Leffert Holz, as Superintendent of Insurance, Liquidator of Preferred Accident Insurance Company of New York, Respondent; New Amsterdam Casualty Company, Appellant.
    Argued October 15, 1957;
    decided December 5, 1957.

   Order affirmed, with costs. Question certified not answered. No opinion.

Concur: Chief Judge Conway and Judges Dye, Fuld, Froessel, Van Voorhis and Burke.

Y. 31, 36) makes this contractual provision invalid.
