Head Matter:
In the Matter of Noel C. Crowley, Appellant, v. J. Willard Hanf, as Justice of the Peace of the Town of Putnam Valley, Respondent.
Argued February 15, 1967;
decided April 6, 1967.
Noel G. Grotvley, appellant in person.
Jerome J. Hersh for respondent.

Opinion:
Order affirmed, without costs, .solely upon the ground that the. adjournment of the proceedings in the Court of Special Sessions to a date when they could be resumed with the District Attorney present did not terminate the trial, and thus the claim of double jeopardy as a bar to its resumption is without foundation.
