Appeal from a judgment of the Supreme Court in favor of plaintiffs, entered in the Rensselaer county clerk’s office July 8, 1921.
Judgment reversed on the law and facts, with costs, on the authority of Hayes v. Claessens (189 App. Div. 449), and judgment directed for the defendant, adjudging the defendant to be the owner of the fund deposited in court under the order of interpleader, and directing its payment to him, with costs.

Opinion:
All concur, except Kiley, J., dissenting, with an opinion; Hinman, J., not sitting. The court disapproves of findings of fact numbered eighth, eleventh and twelfth, and of the facts found in conclusions of law numbered two and three; and finds the facts requested to be found in defendant's requests to find numbered twelfth, thirteenth, fifteenth, seventeenth, eighteenth, nineteenth, twenty-second and twenty-fourth.
