Head Matter:
Samuel Brandt, Respondent, v. Albert Glottstein et al., Appellants.
Supreme Court, Appellate Term, Second Department,
October 22, 1959.
Cymrot & Wolin (Arthur N. Seiff of counsel), for appellants.
Katz & Leidman (Harvey L. Strelzer of counsel), for respondent.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
It was error to permit plaintiff to prove items of damages which were not specified in the bill of particulars (Voccia v. Pleasure Boat Co., 239 App. Div. 165, affd. 264 N. Y. 656). There shall be no reference to the fact that plaintiff received compensation under the Workmen's Compensation Law since such fact is immaterial upon an assessment of damages.
The judgment should be unanimously reversed on the law, without costs, with leave to plaintiff to move to file a further bill of particulars upon such terms as the court below may deem proper and matter remitted to the court below for assessment of damages and entry of judgment thereon, with appropriate costs in the court below.
Concur — Pette, Hart and Brown, JJ.
Judgment reversed, etc.
