Opinion
May, 1927.
Appeal from Supreme Court, Queens County.
We are of opinion that the refusal of the learned justice to find that the check for $1,000 down payment was presented to the bank on September 8, 1925, and that payment or certification was refused because of insufficient funds, was contrary to the evidence, and that the fact should be found as requested by defendant. The criticisms on this refusal to find in the opinion in N.R.S. Realty Corporation v. Forman, Inc., No. 1 ( ante, p. 591), decided herewith, apply to this case. We are also of opinion that the findings of conspiracy in the making of the deed to appellant Rheuban are not supported by the evidence, for the reasons stated in the other case. In our opinion the defendants' motion to dismiss for failure to make out a case, made at the end of the testimony, should have been granted. The judgment should be reversed upon the law and the facts, with costs, and the complaint dismissed, with costs, without prejudice. Kelly, P.J., Young, Kapper, Lazansky and Hagarty, JJ., concur. Judgment reversed upon the law and the facts, with costs, and complaint dismissed, with costs, and without prejudice. Settle order upon notice.
