Harcourt Bull, for respondent.

Opinion:
HATCH, J.
The question which I regarded as controlling the decision in Topham v. This Defendant (decided herewith) 89 N. Y. Supp. 298, is not presented by» the present record. The lease made in this case shows it to have-been subsequent to May 1, 1891, and it is not claimed that there were any other leases made-of the Third Avenue Railroad or the Metropolitan Street Railway Company prior thereto. Consequently such question is not involved-Neither does the pleading nor the proof in this case raise the question "of compliance with section 104 of the railroad law (Laws 1892, p. 1406, c. 676), by showing that suitable regulations were made for the issuance of transfers in the promotion of the public convenience, as is-expressed in the Topham Case. It follows, therefore, that the determination of the Appellate Term should be affirmed, with costs.
