Order unanimously reversed, without costs of this appeal to either party, and matter remitted to Special Term for further proceedings in accordance with the memorandum. Memorandum: The custodial provisions of the annulment decree were changed without any common-law proofs being taken. The custody of children should not be determined on the basis of recriminatory and controverted affidavits, but the court should make such a determination only after *858a full and plenary hearing and inquiry.
