Crawford et al., Respondents, v. Tyrrell, Appellant.
(Supreme Court, General Term, Second Department.
February 11, 1891.)

Headnote

Appeal from special term, Kings county.
Action by John P. Crawford and another against Martin B. Tyrrell.
Argued before Barnard, P. J., and Dykman and Pratt, JJ.
James & Thomas H. Tray, for appellant. Johnson & Lamb, for respondents.

This is an action to restrain the defendant from maintaining a house of prostitution, and to recover damages sustained by the plaintiff by reason of the nuisance. The trial was before a judge without a jury, and he has found the facts which justify the action, and directed a judgment against the defendant, with $300 damages. The testimony is amply sufficient to sustain the judgment upon both the questions involved. The judgment should therefore be affirmed, with costs. All concur.
