      Trepagnier & Bros. v. Bose, 18 App. Div. 893, affirmed,
    (Argued January 24, 1898;
    decided March 1, 1898.)
    Appeal, by certification, from an order of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the second judicial department, entered June 29, 1897, affirming so much of an order of Special Term as denied a motion to vacate a levy made under a warrant of attachment.
    
      The question certified was as follows:

      Edmard F. Dwight for appellants.
    
      Theodore F. O. Demarest and Henry W. Goodrich for respondent.
   Order affirmed, with costs, on opinion below, and the first branch of the question certified answered in the negative and the second in the affirmative.
