Appeal from Municipal Court, Borough of Manhattan, Fifth District.
Action by Alexander Schwimmer against Rudolph Bergman. From two interlocutory judgments rendered in favor of the defendant, sustaining demurrers to the plaintiff’s complaint, plaintiff appeals. Reversed, with leave to the defendant to plead anew.
Argued April term, 1916, before GUY, COHAEAN, and WHITAKER, JJ.
Horwitz & Rosenstein, of New York City (Frederick E. Guggenheimer, of New York City, of counsel), for appellant.
Leonard Day, of New York City (Sidney Newborg, of New York City, of counsel), for respondent.

In both of these cases judgments were not rendered within the time limited by the stipulation given by the attorneys for the respective parties, and the court below therefore lost jurisdiction to render a judgment sustaining the demurrers.

Judgment reversed, with $10 costs in each case to abide the event, with leave to the defendant to plead anew.
