    TANENBAUM v. SIMON et al.
    (Supreme Court, Appellate Division, First Department
    April 25, 1902.)
    Submission of Controversy—A@rf.ed Facts—Inff.rbncf.s—Right of Court.
    In a submission of a controversy on agreed facts the court is confined to the facts, and cannot pass on inferences drawn from .the facts.
    Submission of controversy on agreed facts between Moses Tanenbaum and Aaron Simon and another.
    Dismissed.
    Argued before VAN BRUNT, P. J. and McLAUGHLIN, PATTERSON, O’BRIEN, and LAUGHLIN, JJ.
    Reo N. Revi, for plaintiff.
    Clarence E. Thornall, for defendants.
   PER CURIAM.

Many of the questions sought to be settled by the submission of the controversy between the parties are not presented in such a way that it is competent for the court to decide them. We are asked to pass upon inferences which may be drawn from the submission, rather than upon facts which are affirmatively stated therein; and thus our conclusion would necessarily be based upon such inferences. As said in Fearing v. Irwin, 55 N. Y. 489:

“In those cases of a submission of a controversy without action the court is confined to the facts agreed upon, and can make no inferences, or in any way depart from or go beyond the statement presented.”

The submission, therefore, must be dismissed, without costs, and without prejudice to any action the parties may see fit to bring.
