Opinion:
Order affirmed. We agree with the Appellate Division that the evidence presented at the trial fails to establish that the defendant committed the offense charged against him; by his conduct, he did not ' ' interfere with or obstruct ' ' an inspector, within the meaning of section 186 of the Sanitary Code of New York City. No opinion.
