   McCarthy, J.

This is an appeal from an order allowing plaintiff to sue as a poor person.

. While it is true that the equities may be with the defendant, yet the court having the right-to grant the order, the only question for us to determine is, was there an abuse of judicial discretion?

We cannot say that.

Order affirmed, no costs.

Conlan and Schuchman, JJ., concur.

Ordered affirmed, without costs.
