123 Misc. 764 | N.Y. Sup. Ct. | 1924
Plaintiff conducted several shops in which he sold women’s wearing apparel. His lease of the particular shop here in question expired on May 1, 1924. The business done in that shop had been highly and increasingly lucrative. During the winter of 1923-24 the plaintiff applied to his lessor, the defendant Ostroff (the lessee of the whole), for a renewal of the lease. He says he came to terms with Ostroff. I find that the negotiations had not reached that point, but that there is every reason to believe that a bargain eventually would have been struck had it not been for the faithlessness of plaintiff’s sister and brother, who are the other defendants. The sister and brother were in plaintiff’s employ, engaged solely to sell goods at the shop referred to. During plaintiff’s absence from the city, in March, and without
Judgment accordingly.
