Genevieve Filby, Respondent, v. John Gaden, Appellant.

A wrongful trespass or eviction of a tenant by the landlord constitutes a tort and renders the landlord liable in damages for any loss the tenant may suffer as a natural consequence of the wrongful act. (2 Clark on New York Law of Damages, § 749.) The record herein contains no evidence of injuries, or the extent thereof, which are compensable in this action. Johnston, Acting P. J., Adel, Sneed, Wenzel and MacCrate, JJ., concur.
