Head Matter:
Frances Chadwick, Respondent, v. The Waldorf Steam Laundry Company, Appellant.
(Supreme Court, Appellate Term,
June, 1907.)
Municipal courts — Procedure — Pleadings — Verification — By attorney.
In a Municipal Court action the verification to the answer of the defendant, a domestic corporation, may be made by its attorney.
Appeal by the defendant from a judgment in favor of the plaintiff, rendered in the Municipal Court of the city of New York, tenth district, borough of Manhattan.
Bernard H. Sandler, for appellant.
Alexander Lament, for respondent.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
The answer of defendant, a domestic corporation, was verified by the attorney and the court below struck it out and gave judgment for plaintiff upon the complaint on the ground that section 164 of the Municipal Court Act required such verification of pleadings to be made by an officer of the corporation. Climax Spec. Co. v. Smith & Sons, 31 Misc. Rep. 275, a decision of this court, is a direct authority to the contrary.
Present: Gildersleeve, Fitzgerald, and Goff, JJ.
Judgment reversed and new trial ordered, with costs to appellant to abide event.
