Opinion
December Term, 1897.
Judgment of the County Court reversed, with costs, and the judgment of the Justice's Court affirmed, with costs. Held, that it was competent for the defendant in this action to show that he purchased the property of Bates and that Bates had a good title thereto, and the case does not fall within the rule laid down in Griffin v. L.I.R.R. Co. ( 101 N.Y. 348). All concurred.
