(Supreme Court, Appellate Division, First Department.
March 24, 1910.)

PER CURIAM.
The judgment and order should be reversed, and a new trial ordered, with costs to the appellant to abide the event, unless plaintiff stipulate to reduce the verdict to the sum of $776.15, in which event the judgment, as so modified, and the order appealed from, should be affirmed, without costs.
