Appeal by the plaintiff, Annie Heim, and by the defendants Anthony Schwoerev and others, from an order of the Supreme Court, made at the Hew York Special Term and entered in the office of the clerk of the county of Hew York on the 29th day of June, 1906, relieving the respondent Blumenthal from liability as purchaser on a foreclosure sale and directing that his deposit be repaid.
For a statement of the-facts see the dissenting opinion of Scott, J. {post, p. 2'96).
Henry C. Botty, for the appellants.
Charles E. Stern, for the respondent.

Opinion:
Houghton, J.:
The order should be affirmed on the authority of Dieterlin v. Miller (114 App. Div. 40); in which, on submission of controversy, plaintiff was relieved from his agreement to purchase premises sub-pet to a covenant less broad than that with -which the premises in <j lestion are incumbered. The fair interpretation of the terms of sale,'aside from the fact that it was a judicial sale, is that there were no other incumbrances' upon the premises than those specifically mentioned.
O'Brien, P. J., Ingraham and Clarke, JJ., concurred; Scott, J., dissented.
