Head Matter:
Herman Kram, Doing Business under the Firm Name and Style of Kay Trimming Company, Respondent, v. “ John ” Adler, First Name Fictitious, Unknown to Plaintiff, Caretaker of the Premises 44 West Twenty-second Street, Manhattan, Appellant.
Supreme Court, Appellate Term, First Department,
December 10, 1925.
Samuel M. Rivelson, for the appellant.
Saul Grover Wlodaver, for the respondent.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
Plaintiff issued a requisition in replevin which, with the summons and complaint in the appropriate action were served upon defendant by a marshal. The marshal's return shows, and the testimony demonstrates, that the chattels mentioned in the requisition had been leased to a third party.
Under those circumstances defendant could not have been guilty of contempt of court for having " wilfully disobeyed the writ of replevin in that he failed to turn over [to the marshal] the chattels therein described and enumerated."
Order reversed, with ten dollars costs, and motion denied, with ten dollars costs.
All concur; present, Bijur, Levy and Churchill, JJ.
