HUDSON RIVER WATER POWER CO. v. GLENS FALLS PORTLAND CEMENT CO. et al.
    (Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Third Department.
    November 15, 1905.)
    Action by the Hudson River Water Power Company against the Glens B'alls Portland Cement Company and Glens Falls Gas & Electric Light Company.
   PER CURIAM.

The decision of the court (95 N. Y. Supp. 421) is amended so as to read: This court holds that the finding of the Special Term that the contract was terminated is not supported by the evidence. The judgment is therefore modified, so as to provide that the complaint be, and the same is, dismissed, upon the ground that at the time of the commencement of this action no cause of action had arisen in behalf of the plaintiff as against the defendants, or either of them; further, that the defendant Glens B'alls Gas & Electric Light Company recover of the plaintiff, the Hudson River Water Power Company, the sum of $3,750, with interest on half thereof from November 20, 1902, and on the other half thereof from December 20, 1902, together with the sum of $131.82 costs, making, all told, the sum of $4,397.44, and that said defendant have execution therefor; that the other counterclaims of the defendant the Glens Falls Gas & Electric Light Company be dismissed, upon the ground that neither at the time of the commencement of this action nor at the time of the interposition of said counterclaims had any cause of action in respect of the matters contained therein arisen in behalf of the defendant pleading the same as against the plaintiff. As thus modified, the judgment is affirmed, with costs to the defendant Portland Cement Company against the plaintiff, and without costs to the other parties.
