Stephen Jaskoey, by Frank Jaskoey, His Guardian ad Litem, Appellant, v. The Consolidated Gas Company of New York, Respondent.
    Appeal by the plaintiff from a judgment dismissing the action rendered by the Municipal Court of the city of New York; borough of Manhattan.
    William C. Reddy, for appellant.
    David McClure, for respondent.
   Per Curiam.

The judgment in this ease must be affirmed on the authority of Wodroczka v. Consolidated Gas Co., 29 Misc. Rep. 637, which arose out of the same occurrence. A principal does not become liable for the acts of his contractor merely because he reserves the right of inspection as the work progresses. Kelly v. Mayor, 11 N. Y. 432.

Present: Giegebich and O’Gorman, JJ.

Judgment affirmed, with costs.
