Head Matter:
George W. Barrett, Respondent, v. Henry W. Joslynn, Appellant.
(Superior Court of Buffalo—General Term,
July, 1894.)
The signature of the plaintiff to the verification of the complaint in an action in the Municipal Court of Buffalo is a sufficient subscription of the complaint to meet the requirements of section 459 of the revised charter of the city.
Appeal from judgment of the Municipal Court of Buffalo in favor of the plaintiff.
William C. Kilhoffer, for respondent.
Chernles T. Gardner, for appellant.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
The only question raised on this appeal is that the complaint is not subscribed by the " plaintiff or his attorney," as required by section 459 of the revised charter, regulating the practice in the Municipal Court.
The complaint was verified by the plaintiff, as required by the Code, and he signed his name to the verification, hut did not subscribe the complaint itself. In Harrison v. Wright, 1 N. Y. St. Repr. 736, where the precise question was up, it was held by the unanimous opinion of the General Term of this court that the signature of the plaintiff to the affidavit was a sufficient subscription of the complaint to meet the requirements of the statute. As no authority is shown us holding differently, and on facts exactly parallel, we must follow the law as laid down in that case.
The judgment of the court below is affirmed, with costs.
Present: Titus, Ch. J., Hatch and White, JJ.
Judgment affirmed, with costs.
