Head Matter:
Department of Welfare of the City of New York, Respondent, v. Lawrence Moran, Appellant.

Opinion:
Considering the length of time since the child's birth (1940) with the consequent vagueness and uncertainty of the complainant's testimony on several important points, it appears that the evidence falls far short of the requirement that it be clear, convincing and satisfactory. Order unanimously reversed, without costs and the complaint dismissed. Settle order. Present — Cohn, J. P., Callahan, Breitel, Botein and Rabin, JJ.
