The judgment and order are reversed and a new trial granted, with costs to appellant to abide the event, unless the plaintiff stipulate to reduce the judgment as entered, including costs, to the sum of §23,146.70; in which event the judgment as so modified and the order appealed from are affirmed, without costs. Present—Ingraham, P. J., Lauglilin, Clarke, Scott and Miller, JJ. Judgment and order reversed, new trial ordered, costs to appellant to abide event, unless plaintiff stipulates as stated in opinion, in which event judgment as modified and order affirmed, without costs.
