    Appeal from Municipal Court, Borough of Manhattan, Ninth District.
    Action by William B. Dillon against Jose Mundet and others. From a judgment for plaintiff, after a trial without a jury, defendant Mundet appeals. Modified and affirmed.
    Argued January term, 1914, before LEHMAN, BIJUR, and PAGE, JJ.
    Julian S. Eaton, of New York City, for appellant.
    Campbell, Harding & Pratt, of New York City (Edward Harding and E. N. Goodwin, both of New York City, of counsel), for respondent.
   PER CURIAM.

Upon the facts of this case there can be no doubt that Torrisella, at the time of the collision, was engaged in the business and on behalf of the appellant and acting within the scope of his employment, and that Brown was assisting him therein at Torrisella’s request. The appellant was therefore liable for Brown’s negligence. Althorf v. Wolfe, 22 N. Y. 355; 26 Cyc. 1521.

The plaintiff has recovered as part of his damages the amount paid for storage of the automobile from the time of the collision until he exchanged it, and also for the wages paid his chauffeur during the same period. This was erroneous. Together this amounts to $71.57.

The judgment will therefore be reduced to $242.25, and, as modified, affirmed, without costs. All concur.
