Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
The order was erroneous in continuing the stay after the determination of this court to refuse to certify questions to the Court of Appeals. This court' having denied the application for leave to appeal, to the Court of Appeals, the stay can subserve no useful purpose, and therefore the order appealed from is reversed, with $10 costs and disbursements, and the stay vacated.
