Order reversed on the law and the facts, with ten dollars costs and disbursements, and motion denied, with ten dollars costs. In our opinion, Mr. Finkel was not acting as an attorney in the matter referred to. Even if he be so regarded we think the Special Term improperly exercised its discretion in granting this application. There is considerable doubt whether or not the parties intended that the documents in question should be delivered solely upon the production of a certificate of occupancy, irrespective of the performance by the respondent of its contract. Non-performance by it is alleged by the appellants and not denied by the respondent, the latter standing solely upon the language of the so-called escrow agreement. Under the circumstances, therefore, the questions presented here should not be determined upon a summary application of this character,' but in an action between the parties where the truth can be ascertained from the evidence. Lazansky, P. J., Young, Hagarty, Carswell and Tompkins, JJ., concur.
