    Burkholz, Respondent, v. Gilder et al., Appellants.
    
      (Common Pleas of New York City and County,
    
    
      General Term.
    
    June 27, 1889.)
    Appeal from trial term.
    
      Hugh L. Cole, for appellant. Doherty, Durnin t& Hendrick, for respondents.
   Per Curiam.

The letters of the witness Mackay were irrelevant to the issues in the action. They related to, and were written during the existence of, a former transaction in the year 1886, which had been closed and settled. Their introduction in evidence against the objection of the defendants was ■error. As we are unable to say that the minds of the jury were not affected by this evidence, to the prejudice of the defendants, there must be a new trial. Judgment reversed, and new trial ordered, with costs to abide event.
