    Lucy Sheehy, as Executrix, etc., of Peter Hanify (Also Known as Peter Hanefy), Late of the County of Kings, Deceased, and Bridget Hanify, Respondents, v. John T. Kane (Also Known as John Keane) and Margaret Kane, Appellants. The People of the State of New York and Others, Defendants.
   Judgment reversed upon the law, with costs, complaint dismissed, and judgment directed for defendants Kane canceling and discharging the bond and mortgage, with costs. The finding that there is no proof that the making and delivery of the mortgage was without consideration is against the weight of the evidence. While the record discloses that the testatrix intended to bequeath to her brother and sister $2,000 each, the method adopted by her failed of its purpose, because it was a voluntary and unenforcible promise of an executory gift.
