Head Matter:
Ellen MONSELL, respondent, v. METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, appellant.
(Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Second Department.
March 10, 1916.)

Opinion:
Judgment and order of the City Court of Yonkers reversed, and new trial ordered, costs to abide the event, upon the ground that the greater-weight of the evidence established that the injured had had consumption prior to the date of the policy in suit, and had been treated by a physician for such serious disease, and was then not in sound health, but was suffering from said disease. We do not decide that the testimony of the witnesses Dobbs and Trotter would have been competent if properly objected to. Jenks, P. J., and Thomas, Stapleton, Mills, and Putnam, JJ.; concur.
