TOWN OF NORTH HEMPSTEAD, respondent, v. Louise H. LEEDS, appellant.
(Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Second Department.
November 24, 1915.)

Order reversed, with $10 costs and disbursements, and motion granted, with $10 costs; trial changed to King's county. While jurors, intelligent, conscientious, and impartial, may be had in Nassau county, utterances in public prints and posters and the agitation resulting in the recent local election, with the wide interest in town litigations for recovery of shore frontage, make it safer to hold this trial in another county, wholly removed from any local feeling. Jenks, P. J., and Carr, Stapleton, Mills, and Putnam, JJ., concur.
