Opinion:
Order in so far as appealed from reversed upon the law and the facts, with ten dollars costs and disbursements, and matter remitted to Special Term for further hearing as to the value of appellant's services. There is nothing in the present record, beyond the statement of the justice making the order appealed from, to show that appellant's bills are excessive or fraudulent. Lazansky, P. J., Young, Kapper, Hagerty and Carswell, JJ., concur.
