Head Matter:
Jacob & Youngs, Incorporated, Respondent, v. George E. Kent, Appellant.
(Submitted February 28, 1921;
decided March 8, 1921.)
Motion for re-argument. (See 230 N. Y. 239.)

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
The court did not overlook the specification which provides that defective work shall be replaced. The promise to replace, • like the promise to install, is to be viewed, not as a condition, but as independent and collateral, when the defect is trivial and innocent. The law does not nullify the covenant, but restricts the remedy to damages.
The motion for a re-argument should be denied.
His cock, Ch. J., Cardozo, Pound, McLaughlin, Crane and Andrews, JJ., concur.
Motion denied.
