John P. Cranford, Resp’t, v. Martin D. Tyrrell, App’lt.

This is an action to restrain the defendant from maintaining a house of prostitution, and to recover damage 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.

Barnard, P. J., and Pratt, J., concur.
