Lind & Pfeiffer, of New York City (Alexander Pfeiffer, of New York City, of counsel), for appellant.
Alfonso Bivona, of New York City, for respondent.

Opinion:
SHEARN, J.
One justice of the Municipal Court has no a a justice on the ground of irregularities in that trial. Moreover, there was no irregularity in conducting the trial without a stenographer, where that was done upon stipulation of both sides. The stipulation was in the interest of economy, and evidently contemplated the waiver of an appeal. Dubuc v. Lazell, Dailey & Co., 182 N. Y. 482, 75 N. E. 401. I know of no' reason why a stipulation in an action in the Municipal Court is not just as binding as a stipulation in an .action in any other court.
Order reversed, with $10 costs, and judgment reinstated; judgment to be set off against the costs of appeal. All concur. .
