Opinion:
RICH, J.
This court held, in Spencer v. Ft. Orange Paper Co., 74 App. Div. 74, 77 N. Y. Supp. 251, that:
"The granting or withholding of a bill of particulars is within the discretion of the court, and, where there has been no abuse of this discretion, the appellate courts will not, as a rule, interfere."
This principle has been universally adopted by the appellate courts of this state. The record in the case at bar presents no abuse of discretion, and the order must be affirmed, with'$10 costs and disburse- ' ments. All concur.
