Head Matter:
Anna M. Tevlin, Grantee, Suing in the Name of Alice M. Neier, Grantor, Respondent, v. Louis Kessman, Appellant.

Opinion:
Judgment and order reversed upon the law and a new trial granted, costs to abide the event. The evidence admitted as to the residence of a former owner of the premises was hearsay and was not justified by the rule as to evidence of pedigree. (Young v. Shulenberg, 165 N.
