Vincenza Scuderi and Michael Scuderi, Respondents, v. Schacner Realty Corporation, Appellant.
   On the court’s own motion, the decision of this court handed down on June 12, 1936 [ante, p. 746], is hereby amended to read as follows: Action by Vincenza Scuderi to recover damages for injuries sustained when she slipped and fell on a stairway in defendant’s building, and by her husband to recover for medical expenses and loss of services. Order setting aside the verdicts in favor of the plaintiffs and granting a new trial reversed on the law, with costs, motion denied, and judgment directed to be entered on the verdicts, without costs. Upon the case submitted to the jury, the verdicts do not provide inadequate compensation for those injuries found to be due to the accident. The jury had before it the plaintiff-wife’s testimony as well as the medical testimony. The ease on appeal discloses no reference in the charge of the court to erroneous testimony. Hagarty, Johnston and Adel, JJ., concur; Lazansky, P. J., and Young, J., dissent and vote to affirm.
