    BROWN, Appellant, v. PALMER, Respondent.
    (Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Fourth Department.
    March 14, 1906.)
    Action by James H. Brown against George H. Palmer.
   PER CURIAM.

Judgments reversed, with costs to appellant on the appeal to the County Court and to this court. Held, that the plaintiff having in good faith and without knowledge of any mistake furnished material and caused his employés to put a roof on defendant’s barn in a manner satisfactory to and as directed by defendant, it is immaterial that the defendant did not know that such material was furnished by the plaintiff, instead of another, and that his employés did the work. Having received the benefits resulting from the furnishing of the labor and materials, the defendant cannot avoid liability by asserting that he did not know the identity of the person who furnished and performed the same; and so. even although he had contracted with another party to do the same work and believed it was in fact being done by such other party.
