    October 25, 1899.)
    Municipal Courts—Jurisdiction—Nonresident Corporations.
    The municipal court of New York City has no jurisdiction of an action against a foreign corporation.

    Action by Frank W. Beberdick against Browning, King & Co. From a judgment dismissing the complaint, plaintiff appeals.
    Affirmed.

    Clarence W. Thornall, for appellant.

   PER CTJRIAM.

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.
