      Rosenblum v. Feller, 221 App. Div. 805, affirmed.
    (Argued December 7, 1927;
    decided January 10, 1928.)
    Appeal from a judgment of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the second judicial department, entered July 8, 1927, affirming a judgment in favor of plaintiff entered upon a verdict in an action to recover for personal injuries alleged to have been sustained by plaintiff through the negligence of defendants. Plaintiff while driving a wagon northerly on North Broadway in the city of White Plains received the injuries complained of as the result of a collision with an automobile owned by defendants. It was contended that the trial court erred in refusing to permit counsel for the insurance company defending the action to prove that defendants were insured against accident and that one of the defendants called as a witness on their behalf had conspired with the plaintiff to mulct the insurance company and had given untrue testimony.
    
      William C. Fiest and F. A. W. Ireland for appellants.
    
      Charles Edward Long, Francis J. Mahony and Thomas A. McKennell for respondent.
   Judgment affirmed, with costs; no opinion.
