    Mary Coughlin, an Infant, by John Coughlin, Her Guardian ad Litem, and John Coughlin, Respondents, v. William J. Jones, Appellant.
    
    Supreme Court, Appellate Term, First Department,
    November 8, 1937.
    
      Joseph S. Robinson, for the appellant.
    
      Samuel Justin Jackman, for the respondents.
    
      
      Revg. 162 Misc. 843.
    
   Per Curiam.

The fact that the landlord permitted or invited the children of his tenants to use the yard as a playground did not by implication authorize his tenants or their children to invite strangers to make a similar use of the yard. Plaintiff was at best a mere licensee to whom the landlord was not liable for defects in the premises.

Judgment reversed, with costs, and complaint dismissed on the merits, with costs.

All concur. Present — Lydon, Levy and Hammer, JJ.
