DYKMAN, J.

¶1This is an appeal from an order of the city court

¶2of Mt. Vernon, punishing Gilbert Hall for contempt of court. The contempt consisted in an interposition of a false answer in an action in that court in favor of Henry B. Jenkins and John Carmody against Gilbert Hall and Wright Hall (32 N. Y. Supp. ubi supra) The answer was false, and all the facts and circumstances show that Gilbert Hall knew it to be so. The order should be affirmed, with $10 costs and disbursements. All concur.
