Head Matter:
The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v. Little Home for Friendless Animals, Inc., Appellant. The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v. Elsie Boves, Appellant.

Opinion:
Judgment of the County Court of Suffolk County, convicting the defendants of maintaining a public nuisance in the manner in which a shelter for the prevention of cruelty to animals was conducted, reversed on the law and the indictment dismissed. The proof was inadequate to establish a public nuisance under section 1530 of the Penal Law. (People v. Brooklyn & Queens Transit Corp., 283 N. Y. 484; People v. Cooper, 200 App. Div. 413.) Lazansky, P. J., Johnston, Adel, Taylor and Close, JJ., concur.
