Order reversed on the law and the facts, with ten dollars costs and disbursements, and motion denied, with ten dollars costs. Defendant moved for a change of venue from Rockland county to Monroe county on the ground of convenience of witnesses. Such relief, to which the defendant is not entitled as a matter of right, should be denied where the motion was not made for more than fourteen months after issue was joined. (Ferm v. N. Y., O. & W.
