In the Matter of the Judicial Settlement of the Intermediate Account of Proceedings of Irving Trust Company and Adelaide Roberts, as Executors, etc., of Benjamin L. M. Bates, Deceased.
First Department,
April 18, 1939.
Frederick N. Van Zandt, for the motion.
M. Claiborne Mebel of counsel, for the executors of the estate of Benjamin L. M. Bates, deceased, and Jerome A. Strauss of counsel, for Mary Haac Alexander, opposed.
See 255 App. Div. 615, revg. in part, 167 Mise. 641.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
Motion for reargument denied.
Motion to take additional proof under section 309 of the Surrogate's Court Act denied upon the ground that there is no necessity for the exercise of that power in favor of the claimant Bates, since all the matters on which she now relies may be presented to the surrogate under our decision, which expressly reserves that right to her.
Townley, Glennon and Untermyer, JJ., concur; Martin, P. J., and O'Malley, J., dissent.
