Head Matter:
The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v. John Canavan, Appellant.

Opinion:
Judgment of conviction of the Court of Special Sessions reversed on the law, and new trial ordered. The evidence in the record on the question of defendant's official position is very unsatisfactory, and this should be more fully developed at the new trial in order that it may be determined whether defendant was entitled, by virtue of his office, to possess the weapon in question. Jaycox, Young and Lazansky, JJ., concur; Kelly, P. J., and Manning, J., dissent.
