Head Matter:
WRIGHT Respondent, v. CLARK et al., Appellants.
(~upreme Court, Appellate Division, becond Department.
October 30, 1914.)
Action by Joseph M. Wright against Arthur B. Clark and others.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM,
We think that the judgment appealed from (81 Misc. Rep. 527, 142 N. Y. Supp. 812), should be reversed. We are of opinion that it was reversible error for the learned trial court to receive in evidence, over objection and exception, the findings of the jury in the former lunacy proceeding, and the order confirming them, inasmuch as said findings and order had been rendered absolutely inoperative by the entry of the order vacating the same and directing a new trial in said proceeding. We think that under the circumstances of this case it would be advisable that eltier party should app1y at Special Term for an order directing the framing of issues for a trial by jury. Judgment reversed, and new trial granted; costs to abide the final award of costs.
