    William L. Brown, Respondent, v. Ludwig Hess, Appellant.
    Appeal by the tenant from a final order made by the Municipal Court of the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, awarding to the landlord the possession of certain premises for nonpayment of rent.
    William S. Katzenstein, for appellant.
    William Steele Grey, for respondent.
   Per Curiam.

These proceedings were brought to recover possession of certain premises situate in the borough of Manhattan, by reason of the nonpayment of seven months’ rent, viz., February, March, April, May, June, July and August of the year 1900, at $208.33 1/3 per month, making in all the sum of $1,456.33.

The evidence for the landlord shows that the sum stated was due when the proceedings were brought; that the rent became due on the first day of each month; that there was demanded of the tenant payment of the rent for each of the months above specified, and that he failed to pay.

Although a general denial only was put in, the tenant testified that on the day previous to the trial he mailed a check to the landlord. The amount of such check was not stated, nor the place to which it is claimed the same was mailed. Inasmuch as the landlord denied having received the check and since the tenant did not testify to any other payment, the justice was justified in finding, as he did, that the tenant was indebted to the landlord in the entire sum claimed to be due.

There being no other ground of asserted error apparent in the record, the final order must be affirmed, with costs.

Present: Beekmah, P. J., Giegeeich and O’Gormah, JJ.

Final order affirmed, with costs.
