    ALLEN, Appellant, v. CITY OF NEW YORK, Respondent.
    (Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Second Department.
    July 28, 1916.)
    Appeal from Trial Term, Kings County. Action by Mary Allen, as administratrix, etc., of Michael De Cruiccio, deceased, against the City of New York. From a judgment dismissing the complaint, and an order denying a motion for new trial, plaintiff appeals. Affirmed.
   PER CURIAM.

The plaintiff showed that cold weather lessened the resistance of the cast iron snap, but did not show that the snap in question had been subjected to cold sufficient for that purpose on the- day in question or before that. Facera, to the question whether the weather was cold on the morning of November 23, 1914, answered, “Some.” Whether it was cold enough to affect the snap injuriously does not appear. The learned counsel for the plaintiff urged that the frequent participation or the court in the trial was disconcerting and prejudicial ; but it did not preclude! the counsel from showing a temperature that rendered the use of the bit improper. Hence, assuming that the jury could infer that the snap broke and caused the injury,' negligent use of it on the day in question was not shown. The judgment and order should be affirmed, with costs.
