This case came before us at the May general term, but the papers were not properly certified so that a decision could, be properly rendered. We, however, expressed our views upon the merits of certain questions which must, if adhered to, determine this appeal.

We see no reason to change the views expressed at that general term, which lead to a reversal of the judgment and sending the case back for trial in the county court upon the merits under § 3068 of Code of Civil Procedure, as stated in the opinion referred to.

Judgment reversed on opinion written at May term.

Barnard, P. J., and Dykman, J., concur.
