The appellate division OF the Supreme
court I'm a resoript filed today refuses the
petition OF Angelo Polina for a re-
argument I'm his suit against the j. w.
Bishop company. Mr.. Polina got ver-
diet against the company for which he
formerly worked, but the appellate court
set this verdict aside and granted the
petition OF the defendant for a now trial.
Plaintiff was moving a heavy timber
when he sustained the injury which led
10 the suit.

vatbons OF the court. Observations in
