Appeal from an order, granting a motion for a bill of particu. lors.
George G. Goffin, for app’lt; Esselslyn, Ketcham & Stafford, for resp’t.

Opinion:
McCarthy, J.
Although the order from which this appeal is taken was signed by me, it is,- however, an appeal from a decision rendered by Justice Fitzsimons. The signing of the order by me was merely pro forma and'unnecessary, and therefore does not disqualif}'- me from hearing and determining this appeal. This order must be reversed, on the opinion of Hewbukger, J., in Groff v. Hogan, 13 Misc. Rep. 322; 68 St. Rep. 365.
Order is therefore reversed, with costs and disbursements, and motion is denied, with leave to renew on proper papers.
