MARTIN J. HOFFMAN, as Administrator, etc., of ELLEN MARY HOFFMAN, Respondent, v. BOSTON AND MAINE RAILROAD, Appellant. MARTIN J. HOFFMAN, as Administrator, etc., of HARVEY J. HOFFMAN, Respondent,

By the same order the actions were consolidated but no appeal is taken from the ruling. In each action plaintiff seeks to recover damages for the death of his intestate which occurred on January 21, 1940, when an automobile in which decedents were riding collided with one of defendant's trains at a grade crossing in Rensselaer county. Defendant enumerates ten witnesses whose convenience it asserts will be promoted by a change of venue. The witnesses, with one exception, a photographer, are employees of defendant, and five of them are non-residents of this State. Two of plaintiff's proposed witnesses, an engineer and a photographer, are residents of the county of Saratoga. The convenience of none of the witnesses on either side need be considered on this appeal. The order appealed from is discretionary. Order unanimously affirmed, with ten dollars costs and disbursements.
