Head Matter:
BERGER, Respondent, v. LA GRASSE, Appellant.
(Supreme Court, Appellate Term.
January 26, 1905.)
Appeal from. Municipal Court, Borough of Manhattan, Third District. Action by Bertha Berger against Adelaide La Grasse. From a judgment for plaintiff, defendant appeals. Reversed. Davis & Williams, for appellant. Benjamin Berger, for respondent.

Opinion:
DAVIS, J.
The judgment awarded damages to the plaintiff for a breach of covenant in a lease requiring the defendant to erect a front sidewalk garden within a specified time, and for a failure to restore certain rooms to a habitable condition. The evidence upon which the judgment was based is vague and speculative, and does not support an^ proper rule for estimating the damages, if, indeed, any were sustained. The judgment should be reversed, and a new trial ordered, with costs to appellant to abide the event.
SCOTT, J., concurs.
MacLEAN, J.
Deeming that the plaintiff is entitled to a judgment upon the evidence, I dissent.
