The action is brought to recover the sum of $12,000, which plaintiffs invested in a mortgage. The respondents are attorneys who, it is alleged, represented plaintiffs in the transaction and it is alleged that the loss was occasioned by their negligence. The court directed a verdict in favor of defendant Cragen, and the jury returned a verdict in favor of plaintiffs against defendant Weichselbaum. The court set aside the verdict as against the weight of the evidence and granted a new trial. Plaintiffs appeal. Judgment, and order setting aside verdict and granting a new trial, unanimously affirmed, with costs. No opinion. Appeal from order directing a verdict in favor of respondent John M. Cragen dismissed, without costs. There is no such order.
