    Appeal from Municipal Court, Borough of Manhattan, Second District.

    Argued June term, 1916,
    before GUY, BIJUR, and PHILBIN, JJ.
    Bernard Modell, of Brooklyn, for appellants.
    August Weymann, of New York City, for respondent.
   PER CURIAM.

The learned court below properly denied relief to the plaintiffs. Defendant, in his counterclaim, asked judgment for but "two months’ rent, amounting to $70, but judgment was rendered in his favor for $105, which was irregular.

The judgment will therefore be reduced to $70, with appropriate costs, and, as so modified, affirmed, with $10 costs in this court.
