Head Matter:
Joseph Friar, Respondent, v. Richard Tobin and John Werthessen, Appellants.

Opinion:
Order granting, on condition, defendants' motion to dismiss the complaint for lack of prosecution modified by striking therefrom all of the ordering paragraph after the word " granted," and, as so modified, affirmed, with ten dollars costs and disbursements to appellants. Assuming, but not deciding, that it was within the discretion of the court to condition the order with terms, in the opinion of this court, on the facts disclosed by the record, such discretion should not have been exercised in favor of the plaintiff. Lazansky, P. J., Hagarty, Davis, Adel and Taylor, JJ., concur.
