MAAS, Respondent, v. CUNARD S. S. CO., Limited, Appellant.
(City Court of New York, General Term.
October 30, 1896.)

Headnote

Action by Henry Maas against the Cunard Steamship Company, Limited.
Lord, Day & Lord, for appellant.
Mashbir & Cukor, for respondent.

The plaintiff recovered a judgment against the defendant for the value ■of certain baggage lost by the defendant. The plaintiff resides in Brooklyn, and the cause of action arose there. The defendant is a foreign ■corporation, and was served with the summons and complaint in this city. Upon this appeal, the_ defendant contends that the court has no jurisdiction herein. In making this claim, we think the defendant is in error. The cause of action arose within this state. Plaintiff is a resident of this state, and defendant was served with process in this city. Under such circumstances (see section 1780 of the Code of Civil Procedure), this court has jurisdiction herein. The judgment must be affirmed, with costs. VAN WYCK, O. J., concurs.
