      Matter of McPadden v. St. George’s Church, 214 App. Div. 829, affirmed.
    (Argued February 24, 1926;
    decided March 30, 1926.)
    Appeal, by permission, from an order of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the third judicial department, entered July 1, 1925, unanimously affirming an award of the State Industrial Board made under the Workmen’s Compensation Law. Claimant, while employed as cook by a religious corporation, tripped and fell on the kitchen floor receiving injuries for which compensation has been awarded, the employer having elected to insure its employees. Objection to the award was made upon the ground that claimant was employed as a domestic servant and, therefore, was not covered by the Workmen’s Compensation Law.
    
      Jeremiah F. Connor and William Butler for appellants.
    
      Albert Ottinger, Attorney-General (B. C. Aiken of counsel), for respondent.
   Order affirmed, with costs; no opinion.
