243 A.D. 790
Borenstein v. Borenstein

Opinion of the Court

Resettled order denying defendant’s motion to vacate warrants of attachment theretofore granted affirmed, without costs. No opinion. Lazansky, P. J., Young, Carswell and Johnston, JJ., concur; Scudder, J., dissents and votes to reverse the order and to grant the motion, with the following memorandum: The action takes on the character of one in equity, brought by the father of two children against the mother, to establish or enforce a trust for the benefit of the two children. In substance, if not in form, the children are the real plaintiffs. The plaintiff does not allege he was to receive anything, and defendant’s alleged breach of contract deprived him of nothing. The warrants of attachment against defendant’s property should not be sustained. (Civ. Prae. Act, § 902.)
