FREEDMAN, P. J. Plaintiff brought this action, claiming to be the lessee of certain premises which he sublet to the firm of Singer & Sherman. These subtenants used the premises for the manufacture of cigarettes. Upon the dissolution of their partnership they sold some of their machinery to this defendant. The plaintiff alleges that the defendant, in removing the machinery so purchased, damaged the premises by breaking the ceilings, etc., which by the terms of plaintiff's lease the plaintiff was bound to repair. Plaintiff was the only witness who testified that the alleged damages were done by the defendant. The defendant and two other witnesses testified that the defendant did not damage, but that the machinery purchased by him was all taken apart by his grantors, and that he found such machinery lying on the floor ready to be removed, which he did without doing any damage. There was a sharp conflict In re HAMMOND TYPEWRITER CO. In of testimony. After the court rendered a judg-re HAMMOND. (Supreme Court, Appellate ment in favor of the plaintiff, the defendant moved for a new trial upon the ground of newly discovered evidence. This appeal is from the judgment, and also from the order denying a new trial. The testimony set forth in the affidavits used upon the motion for a new trial is clearly material upon the issues in the case, and we think the interests of justice would be best subserved by granting a new trial. Judgment

and 121 New York State Reporter

that the plaintiff is not entitled to judgment against the defendant Gibson, and the judgment must therefore be reversed as to Gibson, and the complaint dismissed, with costs to Gibson against the plaintiff. The judgment against the Union Pacific Railroad Company is affirmed, with costs to the plaintiff against the Union Pacific Railroad Company.

VAN BRUNT, P. J., concurs in result. HATCH, J. I concur in the opinion of Mr. Justice INGRAHAM, so far as it disposes of the question arising between the railroad company and the plaintiff. I also think that the plaintiff is entitled to the judgment which it has obtained against Gibson. The form which the trial of the action assumed conferred authority upon the court to award any relief which the facts warranted; and, as it appeared that the defendant Gibson could be made liable for a conversion of the proceeds of the bonds, it was proper for the court to award the judgment against him which it did. I am, therefore, for the affirmance of the judgment in its entirety. The judgment should be affirmed, with costs. PATTERSON and LAUGHLIN, JJ. We concur in the opinion of Mr. Justice INGRAHAM, except so far as the liability of the defendant Gibson to the plaintiff is concerned, and with respect to that we concur in the opinion of Mr. Justice HATCH.

Ward, Hayden & Satterlee, for appellant Missouri, K. & T. Ry. Co. William R. Bronk, for appellant Gibson. Sackett & McQuaid, for respondent.

INGRAHAM, J. The questions presented upon this appeal are the same as those determined in the case of Jennie Clarkson Home for Children v. Chesapeake & Ohio Railway Co. (decided herewith), 87 N. Y. Supp. 348; and for the reasons stated in that case the judgment appealed from should be modified, by requiring the Missouri, Kansas & Texas Railway Company to restore to the plaintiff the bonds which it has illegally transferred, or, in default of the delivery of such bonds to the plaintiff, the plaintiff should have judgment for the value of the bonds as found by the court, with interest, and that the defendant the Missouri, Kansas & Texas Railway Company is entitled to judgment against the defendant Gibson for the amount that it is required to pay to the plaintiff as the value of the bonds, with interest thereon, and, as modified, the judgment should be affirmed, with costs to the plaintiff.

VAN BRUNT, P. J., concurs in result. HATCH, J. I concur in the opinion of Mr. Justice INGRAHAM so far as it disposes of the question arising between the railway company and the plaintiff, and also between the railway company and Gibson. I also think that the plaintiff is entitled to the judgment which

it has obtained against Gibson. The form which the trial of the action assumed conferred authority upon the court to award any relief which the facts warranted; and, as it appeared that the defendant Gibson could be made liable for a conversion of the proceeds of the bonds, it was proper for the court to award the judgment against him which it did.
