Head Matter:
John E. Silson, Respondent, v. City of New York, Appellant.

Opinion:
Judgment unanimously reversed and a new trial ordered, with costs to the appellant to abide the event, unless plaintiff stipulates to reduce the verdict to the sum of $150,000 in which event, the judgment as so modified is affirmed, without costs. In our opinion the amount awarded by the jury is excessive. Settle order on notice. Present — Peek, P. J., Glennon, Dore, Cohn and Callahan, JJ.
