Motion for reargument granted.
On reargument the decision of this court handed down on June 13, 1932 [ ante, p. 681], is hereby amended to read as follows: Final judgment modified by reducing the amount thereof to the sum of $1,665.61, and as so modified unanimously affirmed, without costs. We are of opinion that the finding by the referee that between the 1st day of August, 1928, and the 15th day of November, 1929, the defendant received the sum of $50,216.35 is not supported by the evidence, but should be reduced to the sum of $43,883.67. A statement of the defendant's account, including a final adjustment between the parties, showing a balance of $1,665.61, to which we believe the plaintiff to be entitled, is as follows:
