    JUNE, 1898.
    Benjamin Finkel, Respondent, v. John Davidson et al., Appellants.
    ' Appeal from a judgment of the District Court in the city of New York for the fourth judicial district rendered in favor of the plaintiff/ '!'-.■/
    Abraham H. Sarasohn, for appellants.
    Jacob Rieger, for respondent.
   Per Curiam.

We think the justice below had-no power to modify, the. judgment as he did/ and for that reason it should he reversed. • We also think that the question put to the plaintiff on cross-examination, Didn’t you know as a clbakmaker from an experience of four years when a. man is hired for a certain time a writing is given, and if a writing is not given! he is hired from week to .week? ” should have been allowed, as it had some bearing upon his credibility in view of -the nature of the ¡arrangement with the defendants to which he testified. ",

' Judgment reversed and a new trial ordered, with costs to the appellants to abide the event. j
