Irlen Holding Corporation, Appellant; The City of New York and First National Bank of Toms River, as Trustee, etc., of Christ Church, Toms River, N. J., Respondents.

Men Holding Corporation appeals from so much of the final decree in condemnation as disallows its claim for the value of the unexpired term of its lease and which reduces an award on its fixture claim. Decree, in so far as an appeal is taken therefrom, unanimously affirmed, with costs. No opinion. Present —■ Carswell, Davis, Johnston, Adel and Close, JJ.
