Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
It is unnecessary to pass upon the merits of the motion to open defendant's default, as the order must be reversed, and a new trial ordered, with costs to appellant to abide the event, because the testimony on the inquest did not disclose a cause of action against the defendant. Appeal from judgment dismissed.
