Head Matter:
John P. Crosby, Respondent, v. 20 Fifth Avenue Hotel Co., Inc., and 49th St. & Madison Ave. Corp., Appellants, Impleaded with New Weston Annex Corp., Defendant.
Supreme Court, Appellate Term, First Department,
January 5, 1940.
Edward Morrison [Campbell & Boland of counsel], for the appellants.
Harold Green, for the respondent.
Modfg. and affg. 173 Misc. 595.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
A hotel is not chargeable as a bailee for a valuable antique left in a trunk where plaintiff did not give notice that the trunk contained anything but ordinary personal luggage. (Waters v. Beau Site Co., 114 Misc. 65; Magnin v. Dinsmore, 62 N. Y. 35.)
Judgment modified by reducing the amount thereof to the sum of seventy-five dollars, with costs, and as modified affirmed, with twenty-five dollars costs to the appellants.
All concur. Present — Hammer, Shientag and Noonan, JJ.
