Appeal from an order denying a motion for a bill of particulars.
Jas. K. Hill, Winy <6 Shoudy, for resp’t; George A. Black, for app’lt.

Opinion:
Pratt, J.
As pointed out in the opinion at special term, the application seeks for the details of plaintiff's evidence and not for the items of plaintiff's claim.
The claim of plaintiff is for a total loss, whereby the sum of $2,000 became payable.
if defendants seek to avail themselves of such knowledge as plaintiff may . have concerning the details of damage sustained, they must seek another method.
Order affirmed, with ten dollars costs and disbursements.
Barnard, P. J., and Dykman, J., concur.
