December 28, 1899.)

Argued before FREEDMAN, P. J., and MacLEAN and LEVENTRITT, JJ.
Edward G. Whitaker, for appellant.
Ellis B. Southworth, for respondent.

Opinion:
MacLEAN, J.
As it does not appear upon the record that the defendant resided within the jurisdiction of the court below, the judgment must be reversed, even if a collocation of the evidence may establish the home of the defendant to have been "86th street," in whatever locality that may be; for that does not sufficiently establish residence within the jurisdiction.' Frees v. Ford, 6 N. Y. 176; Gilbert v. York, 111 N. Y. 544, 19 N. E. 268.
Judgment reversed, and a new trial ordered, with costs to the appellant to abide the event. All concur.
