Summary proceeding by Jack Earl and another, landlords, against Krug Baking Company of New Jersey, a corporation tenant to recover possession of certain premises from tenant. On tenant's application for an order requiring landlords to furnish a bill of particulars.

Order allowed only with respect to the first demand.

Jerome J. Dunn, of Ridgewood, for landlord-plaintiff.

Brady & Daly, of Newark, for tenant-defendant.

LEYDEN, Circuit Judge.

This proceeding, instituted in the District Court of the Fourth Judicial District of the County of Bergen, to recover possession of the premises known as No. 28-32 North Maple Avenue, in the Village of Ridgewood, Bergen County, from the tenant-defendant, was removed by order of Mr. Justice Bodine to the Bergen County Circuit Court pursuant to the statutes, R.S. 2:58-27, N.J.S.A. 2:58-27, and its companion R.S. 2:32-274, N.J.S.A. 2:32-274.

4. State whether it is alleged that the conditions in and about the roof of the building on the demised premises which you allege made those repairs necessary were called to the attention of the tenant and, if so, to whom representing the tenant notice thereof was given.

5. State what you allege to have been the cause of the conditions in and about the roof of the building on the demised premises which you allege made those repairs necessary, and if you allege the cause to have been one or more identifiable occurrences, state what you allege each was and when you allege each occurred.
