Head Matter:
NEW YORK COMMON PLEAS — GENERAL TERM,
JANUARY, 1894.
Hughes v. Koehler.
Ejectment •—• judgment.
Appeal by the plaintiff from an order made at Special Term, vacating a judgment in ejectment as against the defendant Koehler.
Edward W. S. Johnston, for plaintiff (appellant).
Charles Goldzier, for defendant (respondent).

Opinion:
Bookstaver, J.
The questions of law raised by this appeal rest entirely upon disputed facts. If, as respondent contends,, the stenographer's minutes upon the first trial contained the entire stipulation relating to the dismissal of the complaint against .him, then the order is clearly right and should be sustained. If, on the other hand, the stipulation to dismiss the complaint as to him was coupled with the further agreement that judgment should be taken against him for the possession of the premises, or if, as appellant contends, thereafter the judgment as entered was submitted to and approved by his attorney, which does not seem to be denied by the papers presented on this appeal, then the order is erroneous. Under the circumstances of the case we think the order should be-vacated and the matter sent to a referee to take proof as to the facts before referred to, and to report the same to the Special Term of this court. The costs of this appeal to the appellant to abide the result.
Bischoff and Pbyob, JJ., concur.
Ordered accordingly.
