The complaint was for damages for breach of contract. The answer contained a general denial and counterclaim. The learned court below rendered judgment for the plaintiff, but, so far as the record shows, made no disposition of the counterclaim. From the record we are unable to determine whether-this was an oversight, or whether judgment was rendered for the amount of the plaintiff’s-claim, because the court did not credit the testimony upon which the defendant relied to establish his counterclaim. Under section 230 of the Municipal Court Act (Laws 1902, c. 580), the court is required, upon issue joined, to decide all questions of fact and law, and. render judgment accordingly. The counterclaim was in issue, and the fail-" ure of the court below to determine this issue necessitates a' reversal of the judgment. Schaffer v. Fihrer (Sup.) 133 N. Y. Supp. 921.
Judgment reversed and a new trial ordered, with costs to the appellant to abide the0 event. All concur.
