       Affd., 260 N. Y. 643.
    
   Judgment reversed on the law and the facts, with costs, verdict reinstated, and judgment directed to be entered thereon, with costs. Appeal, in so far as it purports to be from an order entered on the clerk’s minutes, dismissed. In the circumstances the court was without power to dismiss the complaint on the merits. (Bail v. N.
