    (Argued December 5, 1917;

    Appeal from an order of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the fourth judicial department, reversing a judgment in favor of plaintiff entered upon a verdict and granting a new trial; also appeal from an order of said court amending a prior order reversing the judgment of the Trial Term and dismissing the complaint so as to provide that the judgment of the Trial Term be reversed and a new trial granted.

The defense was a general denial of the defendant’s negligence and an allegation of contributory negligence-on the part of the plaintiff.
