Appeal from Municipal Court, Borough of Manhattan, Twelftht District.
Action by William Friedlander against Max Lehman. From a judgment for plaintiff, defendant appeals. Reversed.
Argued before GILDERSLEEVE, DUGRO, and DOWLING, JJ„.
Bernard G. Heyn, for appellant.
Lippmann & Ruck, for respondent.

Evidence that plaintiff paid out money for defendant, and between certain dates rendered services to defendant, which' plaintiff considers worth a certain sum of money, does not warrant a conclusion that defendant is under any liability. No request or-reasonable occasion for paying the money or rendering the service-being shown, no liability to the plaintiff exists. The affidavit upon-which the warrant was issued shows no facts from which it can be in- • ferred that any money is due plaintiff, no request or reasonable occasion to lay out the money or render the service specified being shown..

The judgment will be reversed, and a new trial ordered, with costL to appellant to abide the event.
