Opinion:
Appeal by third-party defendant J. I.

Order modified so as to limit the increase in the ad damnum clause to $1,000,000. As so modified, order affirmed, with $50 costs and disbursements to appellant. Special Term improvidently exercised its discre tion in granting amendment of plaintiiFs ad damnum clause above the amount indicated. Damiani, J. P., Titone, Mangano and Gulotta, JJ., concur.
