Respondent was admitted to practice in the Appellate Division, First Department, in 1912.

suasive oral opinion at the close of the hearings, which is reported in full in the record, in which he reviewed and weighed the evidence in detail.

The report should be confirmed and the proceedings dismissed.
Finch, McAvoy, Martin and O’Malley, JJ., concur.
Proceedings dismissed.
