As to the defendant County of Cattaraugus judgments of the Appellate Division and of the Trial Term reversed and a new trial granted, with costs to abide the event, upon the ground that the proof relating to the presence of gravel and cinders upon the highway presented an issue of fact as to whether the defendant County of Cattaraugus had been guilty of negligence causative of the accident. No opinion.
As to the defendants Bacher and Seider appeal dismissed, with costs, upon the ground that no stipulation for judgment absolute has been given.
