Opinion
Charles Rubin and Another, Respondents, v. Jacob Joseph, Appellant.
[MAJORITY]
Judgment reversed upon the law and a new trial granted, with costs to abide the event. Plaintiffs, upon the trial, relied entirely upon the interlocutory judgment in the annulment suit to prove the physical incapacity of the defendant. The final judgment had in fact not then been entered, and the interlocutory judgment was not res adjudicata against the defendant upon this question. (Brown v. Cleveland Trust Co., 233 N. Y. 399, 405; Petit v. Petit, 45 Misc. 155.)
