    Appeal from Municipal Court, Borough of Manhattan, Second District.
    Action by Morris M. Lessler against William Bernstein. From a judgment for plaintiff, defendant appeals.
    Reversed, and new trial ordered.
    Argued before GILDERSLEEVE, P. J., and SEABURY and LEÍHMAN, JJ.
    Horace London, for appellant.
    Samuel S. Breslin, for respondent.
   PER CURIAM.

The action was on contract for goods sold and delivered. The learned trial judge submitted the case, to the jury as one for damages sustained by the plaintiff through the fraudulent representations of "the defendant. Proper instructions in an action for fraud and misrepresentation were laid befor.e- the jury, and a verdict rendered for the plaintiff. No exception was taken to the charge. The court discovered the error, and directed that a body execution should not issue. We are of the opinion that the judgment should not stand, and that the interests of justice require a new trial.

Judgment reversed, and a new trial ordered, with costs to appellant to abide the event.
