Dissenting Opinion
I agree with the dissenting opinion of PATTERSON, J., in the Appellate Division, concurred in by Presiding Justice VAN BRUNT, to the effect that there was reversible error in the rulings of the trial judge, when the inspectors for the city of New York were under examination by the counsel for the plaintiff. The most important point in the plaintiff's case was to establish, if possible, that these inspectors for the city were biased and not acting in good faith.
