William L. Pollack, as Guardian ad Litem of Hazel Manning, an Infant under the Age of Twenty-one Years, Appellant, v. Court Taxi Service, Inc., Respondent. (Action No. 2.)

Order of the City Court of White Plains reversed upon the law, with ten dollars costs and disbursements, motion granted, with ten dollars costs, and the affirmative defense contained in the amended answer stricken out. The affirmative defense is insufficient. The complaint alleges that plaintiff is an infant. A defense of release is, therefore, insufficient without an allegation that plaintiff is not an infant. The defendant may have the privilege
