The municipal court of New York City has no jurisdiction of an action against a foreign corporation.
Appeal from municipal court, borough of Manhattan, Second district.
Action by Frank W. Beberdick against Browning, King & Co. From a judgment dismissing the complaint, plaintiff appeals.
Affirmed.
Argued before FREEDMAN, P. J., and MacLEAN and LEVEN-TKITT, JJ.
Clarence W. Thornall, for appellant.
James A. Gray, for respondent.

From the record in this case it affirmatively appears that the defendant is a foreign corporation. The court below therefore had no jurisdiction, and the judgment must be affirmed. Rieser v. Charles F. Parker & Co., 27 Misc. Rep. 205 , 57 N. Y. Supp. 745 .

Judgment affirmed, with costs to respondent.
