The knowledge and information of the agents, servants and employees of the Utica State Hospital and of the State of Hew York as to information contained in the hospital records of the person who is alleged to have assaulted the said Anastasia K. Powers, which knowledge and information was gained by observation and not through professional knowledge.” All concur.

J., Vaughan, Piper, Wheeler and Van Duser, JJ.
