(Argued May 31, 1904;
decided June 7, 1904.)

The motion was made upon the ground that the reversal by the Appellate Division was upon questions of fact as well as of law, and, therefore, not reviewable by the Court of Appeals.
J. Newton Fiero for motion.
Eugene Treadwell opposed.
[MAJORITY]
Motion granted upon the condition that the appellant pay the taxable costs of the appeal in this court, including an argument fee, and ten dollars costs of opposing this motion.
