(Supreme Court, Appellate Term, First Department.
April 14, 1914.)
Set-Off and Counterclaim: (§ 57*)—Judgment fob Plaintiff.
In an action for wages, where defendant expressly admitted the claim, but interposed a counterclaim for a less amount, plaintiff was, át all events, entitled to a judgment for the difference between her claim and the counterclaim, and a dismissal of the complaint was erroneous.

Appeal from Municipal Court, Borough of Manhattan, Eighth District.
Action by Tessie Gasparowicz against Isidor M. Oshinslcy. From a judgment dismissing the complaint without prejudice, plaintiff appeals.
Reversed and remanded.
Argued March term, 1914, before SEABURY, LEHMAN, and BI-JUR, JJ.
Nathan April, of New York City, for appellant.
Charles S. Rosenberg, of New York City, for respondent.

Opinion:
BIJUR, J.
The record of the case shows so irregular a course of practice, both previous to and at the trial, as alone to require a reversal; but, on what may be called the merits, plaintiff sued for $17 wages, which claim defendant expressly admitted and interposed a counterclaim of $12. In any view of the controversy therefore, plaintiff was entitled to a judgment for $5.
Judgment reversed, and new,trial granted, with costs to appellant to abide the event. All concur. i
