Leo V. Sheehan, Respondent, v. Edward Behr, Appellant, et al., Defendant. (Action No. 1) Lorraine Behr et al., Plaintiffs, v. Esso Standard Oil Co., Defendant. (Action No. 2)

In a consolidated action to recover damages for personal injuries, Edward Behr, one of the defendants in Action No. 1, appeals from order which, on reargument, granted a motion for a preference, pursuant to rule 151 of the Rules of Civil Practice. Order modified by striking from the second ordering paragraph everything following the word “ respects ” and by substituting therefor the word “ denied ”. As so modified, order affirmed, without costs. Destitution and incapacity to work are insufficiently shown. (Farewell v. Milbank, 284 App. Div. 898 ; Svei v.
