Opinion:
Judgments reversed, information dismissed and the fine remitted. Whether or not a punch card or punchboard comes within the scope of section 970-a of the Penal Law need not be here decided since, in our view, there was no proof, beyond a reasonable doubt, of the essential sale of such an article. No opinion.
