Head Matter:
MACHSON et al. v. SYROP.
(Supreme Court, Appellate Term.
December 7, 1904.)
1. Conditional Purchase—Evidence.
Evidence that a purchase of a store for $2,100 was on the condition that the gross receipts were $100 a day is not so improbable .that it may not be credited.
Appeal from Municipal Court, Borough of Manhattan, Fourth District.
Action by Edward Machson and others against Henry Syrop. From a judgment for plaintiffs, defendant appeals.
Affirmed.
Argued before FREEDMAN, P. J., and BISCHOFF and GILDER-SLEEVE, JJ.
Emanuel Klein, for appellant.
Isidore Neustaeder, for respondents.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
The evidence amply supports the finding that the sale of the store Was conditional .pon its being demonstrated that the gross receipts were $100 a day, and the plaintiffs were entitled to a return of the sum deposited upon this conditional agreement, in view of the actual receipts. There is nothing improbable in this agreement, since the profit upon a gross business of $100 a day was not necessarily excessive of what should ordinarily be derived from an investment of $2,100 in the business of personally conducting a store. The credibility of the witnesses was for the justice to determine, and there is nothing to infirm his conclusion upon this record.
Judgment affirmed, with costs.
