Head Matter:
Bernard H. Lefferts, Appellant, v. Latin-American Council of Christian Churches of New York, Respondent, et al., Defendants. John Fanelle, as Receiver, Respondent.

Opinion:
The order appealed from did not impose on plaintiff liability for the judgment, if any, in the negligence action, but only liability for the " costs and expenses " of the receiver in defending the negligence action in his official capacity if the estate is insufficient (cf. Civ. Prac. Act, § 977-e and § 1547-a). On the facts disclosed the order appealed from was proper and is unanimously affirmed, with $20 costs and disbursements to the receiver-respondent.
