Head Matter:
CAMPBELL PRINTING PRESS & MANUF’G CO. v. YORKSTON.
(City Court of New York, General Term.
October 23, 1894.)
Appeal from trial term. Action by the Campbell Printing Press & Manufacturing Company against Robert P. Yorkston on a promissory note. From a judgment in favor of defendant, plaintiff appeals. Affirmed. Charles De Hart Brower, for appellant. John Reilly, for respondent.

Opinion:
NEWBURGER, J.
This action was brought to recover the amount of a promissory note made by the defendant to the order of the plaintiff. The defendant admitted his liability upon the note, but set up a, counterclaim for commissions upon the sale of printing presses made prior to the giving of the note. The defendant had been in the plaintiff's employ upon a commission basis, but was not in its employ at the time of the sale. A careful reading of the printed case fails to disclose any error in the trial of the case. The rule governing commissions on the sale of personal property was properly stated by the trial justice in his charge to the jury. The judgment and order appealed from must therefore be affirmed, with costs.
