Headnote

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

—The plaintiff recovered a judgment against the defend-ant 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, C. J., concurs.
