Order reversed cm the law and the facts, with $10 costs and disbursements, and the motion granted, with $10 costs. There was no merit to any of the defenses which plaintiff claims defendants failed to interpose. Therefore, the alleged damages suffered by plaintiff were not due to defendants’ breach of contract. (Maryland Cas. Co. v. Price, 231 F. 397, cited with approval in McAleenan v. Massachusetts Bonding & Ins. Go., 232 N. T. 199, 204.) Nolan, P. J., Carswell, Johnston, Adel and MacCrate, JJ, concur.
