Majority

p. 970
William Bals, Respondent, v. Champlain Coach Lines, Inc., Appellant.

Judgment unanimously reversed and a new trial ordered, with costs to the appellant to abide the event, upon the ground that plaintiff’s statement that $25,000 had been offered in settlement was so prejudicial to defendant that its motion for a mistrial should have been granted. Present — Martin, P. J., O’Malley, Townley, Dore and Cohn, JJ.
