The plaintiff is regularly employed at 41½ Division street in the borough of Manhattan, city of ¡New York, as an operator on cloaks and suits.

The place where one is regularly employed to render services, where he attends every business day, is a place or office for the regular transaction of business, regardless of the character of the business which one may transact at that place.
The order requiring the plaintiff to give security for costs is reversed, with ten dollars costs and disbursements; and the motion is denied, with ten dollars costs.
Gut and Whitney, JJ., concur.
