W.H. Van Steenbergh and Edward Schenck for appellant.

H.H. Snedeker for respondent.

Per Curiam.

The findings of fact in the decision of the court have been unanimously affirmed by the Appellate Division.

Such findings do not show that the personal obligation of the defendant Cook was assigned to the plaintiff. The other questions discussed are not raised by such findings. The judgment should be reversed and a new trial granted, with costs to abide the event, unless the plaintiff within twenty days consents to amend the judgment, by striking therefrom that part thereof directing that if the proceeds of the sale of

CULLEN, Ch. J., HAIGHT, VANN, WERNER, WILLARD BARTLETT, HISCOCK and CHASE, JJ., concur.
