¶1Judgment and order reversed on the facts and a new trial granted, with costs to the appellant to abide the event. Memorandum: The question as to whether the plaintiff was an independent contractor was not! raised on the trial. We think, however, that the verdict was against the weight of the evidence.

Present — Cunningham, Taylor, Dowling, Harris and McCurn, JJ.
