Herman Muller et al., Copartners Doing Business as Milligan, Muller & Company, Appellants, v. Henry Holtzer et al., Doing Business as John E. Cahill & Company, et al., Respondents.
    Supreme Court, Appellate Term, First Department,
    April 30, 1959.
    
      Chamberlin, Kafer, Wilds $ Jube (John M. Johnston and Macdonald Flinn of counsel), for appellants.
    
      Irwin Isaacs for respondents.
   Per Curiam.

Testimony of hardship that might be suffered by the tenants-respondents was clearly inadmissible and prejudicial to the landlords-appellants. The landlords comply with the statute’s demands if they bring the eviction proceeding with the honest intention and desire to obtain possession of the business space for their own immediate and personal use (Matter of Rosenbluth v. Finkelstein, 300 N. Y. 402; Kauffman & Sons Saddlery Co. v. Miller, 298 N. Y. 38; N. R. M. Garage Corp. v. Feig Garage Corp., 10 Misc 2d 216, affd. 279 App. Div. 126, affd. 303 N. Y. 922).

The final order should be reversed and new trial ordered, with $30 costs to appellants to abide the event.

Concur — Hofstajdter, J. P., Steuer and Tilzer, JJ.

Final order reversed, etc.
