    dedided April 13, 1915.)
    
      Pirie v. Curran, 153 App. Div. 899, affirmed.
    Appeal from a judgment of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the first judicial department, entered December 10,1912, affirming a judgment in favor of plaintiff entered upon a decision of the court at a Trial Term without a jury in an action to recover upon a promissory note.

Counterclaims were interposed to recover an amount paid the plaintiff upon the same unperformed consideration, and payments made on account of the note without knowledge of the plaintiff’s breach of agreement.
    
      John Ewen for appellant.
    
      Earnest P. Hoes and Frank L. Hall for respondent.
   Judgment affirmed, with costs; no opinion.
