Head Matter:
The People of the State of New York ex rel. Leonard Drake, Relator, v. William S. Andrews, as Justice of the Supreme Court, and Others, Respondents.

Opinion:
Order of reversal entered July 6, 1909, modified so as to read as follows: " Order reversed and relator discharged from custody. Such reversal is solely upon the ground that the acts found by the trial court to' have been committed by the relator (in which finding no error was committed), did not constitute criminal contempt of court and were not punishable as such. (See prevailing opinion by Williams, J., which is made a part of this order and decision.)" (See 134 App. Div. 32.)
