      Daniel W. Reeve, for motion ; Payne & Benjamin, opposed.
   Pratt, J.

We do not think there is any merit in this motion or in the case in which it is made.

If Benjamin Wells owed plaintiff anything we think it should have been collected seven years and six months after his death. 115 N. Y.,'85 ; 23 St. Rep., 604.

The case, under all the facts and circumstances, was, we think, properly decided, and the motion for a reargument must be denied, but without costs.

Barnard, P. J., and Dykman, J., concur.
