Head Matter:
John Spies, Appellant, Respondent, v. Walter Engel, Respondent, Appellant.

Opinion:
Judgment and order reversed and a new trial ordered, with costs to abide the event. The verdict is clearly a compromise verdict. If the defendant is liable for damages the amount allowed is inadequate. If the defendant is not liable there should be a judgment for the defendant. Present — Finch, P. J., Merrell, McAvoy, Martin and Sherman, JJ.
