Head Matter:
In the Matter of the Application of Henry Cardos, Respondent, v. William H. Edwards, as Commissioner of the Department of Street Cleaning of the City of New York, Appellant.
Appeal from a final order of the Supreme Court, as resettled by an order entered on the 4th day of June, 1913, directing the issuance of a peremptory writ of mandamus, and from an order entered on the 36th day of May, 1913, denying a motion for a new trial.

Opinion:
Per Curiam:
The verdict of the jury was clearly against the weight of evidence, and the order entered on the 36th day of May, 1913, denying the motion to set aside the verdict of the jury in answer to the questions submitted to them is reversed, the motion granted and a new trial ordered. The final order granting the mandamus entered on the 33d day of May, 1913, falls with the order setting aside the verdict, and that is also reversed, with costs to the defendant. Present — Ingraham, P. J., Clarke, Scott, Dowling and Hotchkiss, JJ. Final order reversed, with costs, order denying motion for new trial reversed and motion granted. Order to be settled on notice.
