Head Matter:
In the Matter of Supplementary Proceedings. Jacob Hurwitz, Respondent, v. Hyman Bernstein, Appellant.

Opinion:
The title to the property being in dispute, its ownership can only be ascertained in a proceeding instituted by the receiver. The debtor cannot be punished for a criminal contempt upon a motion, even though the affidavits presented to the judge tend to establish that the evidence given by him relating to such ownership is untrue. The order must, therefore, be reversed. Order of the County Court of Kings county.reversed, with ten dollars costs and disbursements, and motion denied, without costs. Jenks, P. J., Thomas, Carr, Rich and Stapleton, JJ., concurred.
