Appellate Terms of the Supreme Court of New York

1Per curiam
Defendants, having terminated plaintiff’s employment, had the right to evict him. Notice given by certified mail was received by the plaintiff. The eviction did not constitute a conversion of plaintiff’s goods; neither did the subsequent storage of them in the basement. (Bowers, Law of Conversion, § 3, p. 3.) The loss or damage, if any, caused by flood was accidental and did not constitute conversion. (Salt Springs Nat. Bank v. Wheeler, 48 N. Y. 492, 495; Magnin v. Dimsmore, 70 N. Y. 410, 417.)
