    Appeal from trial term.
    Action by Anna Holmes against Simon Feist. From a judgment for plaintiff and an order denying a new trial, defendant appeals..
    Affirmed.
    Argued before MCCARTHY and SCHUCHMAN. JJ.
    Howe & Hummel, for appellant.
    John M. Rathrop, for respondent.
   PER CURIAM.

The plaintiff, a tenant, sued her landlord, the - defendant, for damages occasioned to her household furniture, etc., by rain coming in her top flat while a new roof was being put on. The questions raised by the appellant on this appeal have been disposed of by the appellate term in an action brought against him by another of his tenants, to wit, Randolph v. Feist (the defendant),. reported in 23 Misc. Rep. 650, 52 N. Y. Supp. 109. The plaintiff sued . for $450, and recovered $150. We think the evidence justified a re- - covery to that extent.

Judgment and order appealed from affirmed, with costs.
