The rule laid down upon the previous appeal (Stebbins v Hume, 16 N. Y. St. Repr. 128) is the law of this case, so far as this court is concerned. The trial judge ruled precisely in accordance with the views there expressed by the General Term. We should, therefore, affirm his ruling. The judgment should be affirmed, with costs. Present — Van Brunt, P. J., Barrett, Rumsey, O’Brien and Ingraham, JJ.
