THE CONTINENTAL NATIONAL BANK, Respondent, v. RUSSELL W. ADAMS and another, Appellants.
Appeal from an order made at Special Term, setting aside a verdict in favor of the defendant, and granting a new trial, on the ground of surprise.

Warford, 7 Wend., 62; Chamberlain v. Lindsay, 8 S. C. [1 Hun], 231: Tyler v. Hoornbeck, 48 Barb., 198.)
Wm. A. Jenner, for the appellants.
