This determination, however, should not be regarded as indicating that we think that the appellants can bring up for review on said appeal all of the intermediate orders specified in their notice. Apparently such notice indicates an intent to ask this court to review practically all of the proceedings which have ever been taken in this long litigation, and it is perfectly manifest that some of the orders are discretionary while others cannot be regarded as necessarily affecting the final judgment now before us for review, and, therefore, they cannot be considered on this appeal.

The motion should be denied, without costs.

All concur.

Motion denied.

HERMAN STEINER et al., Copartners under the Firm Name of ZUCKER, STEINER & COMPANY, Appellants, v. AMERICAN ALCOHOL CO., INC., Respondent.

Steiner v. American Alcohol Co., Inc., 181 App. Div. 309, affirmed. (Submitted January 6, 1919; decided January 21, 1919.)

APPEAL from a judgment, entered April 22, 1918, upon an order of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the first judicial department which reversed an order of Special Term overruling a demurrer to the complaint and sustained such demurrer. The complaint alleged that plaintiffs and defendants entered into a certain agreement whereby defendant agreed to sell and the plaintiffs to purchase certain merchandise; that the agreement of sale was oral, and that plain

tiffs stated it would be necessary to reduce said agreement to writing, but defendant falsely represented to plaintiffs that it would fully perform its agreement and make delivery of the merchandise in accordance therewith as if said agreement were reduced to writing; that said representations were false and untrue and defendant did not intend to perform said agreement and did not intend to deliver said merchandise; that said fraudulent représentations were made with the intention of avoiding the reduction of said agreement to writing and with the further intention of cheating and inducing plaintiffs not to purchase similar goods in the open market; that plaintiffs, in reliance upon such statements, did not purchase similar goods, as they could have done at the price mentioned in the agreement; that thereafter defendant repudiated the contract and refused to perform it and that at the time of such repudiation the market price of the goods had advanced so that plaintiffs were unable to purchase similar goods except at a price in excess of the agreed price.

A. Herman Friesner for appellants.

Max Schenkman for respondent.

Judgment affirmed, with costs; no opinion.

In the Matter of the Accounting of THE FARMERS' LOAN AND TRUST COMPANY, as Temporary Administrator, and as Administrator with the Will Annexed of the Estate of EDWIN O. BRINCKERHOFF, Deceased. NEW YORK ASSOCIATION FOR IMPROVING THE CONDITION OF THE POOR et al., Appellants; EVELINA D. CLARK et al., Respondents.

Matter of Farmers' Loan & Trust Co., 181 App. Div. 642, affirmed. (Submitted January 6, 1919; decided January 21, 1919.) APPEAL from an order of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the first judicial department, entered

March 8, 1918, modifying and affirming as modified a decree of the New York County Surrogate's Court settling the accounts of the administrator of the estate of Edwin O. Brinckerhoff, deceased. The controversy related to allowances made by the Supreme Court, out of the surplus income of the testator, Edwin O. Brinckerhoff, an incompetent person, during his lifetime, to certain of his next of kin, collateral relations, for their support and maintenance; and the question was whether those allowances should be treated as part of the testator's estate on final distribution. The allowances aggregated $20,717.50. The surrogate held that they constituted advances on account of the respective distributive shares in the estate of the next of kin who had received the allowances, and that their amount should be added to the amounts in the administrator's hands for the purpose of computing the shares of the parties. This ruling the Appellate Division reversed.

Francis Smyth, George N. Whittlesey and Matthew C. Fleming for appellants.

Ezekiel Fixman and Clarence M. Lewis for respondents.

Order affirmed, with costs; no opinion.
