In re the Accounting of Zalewski
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York · Decided November 23, 1942
265 A.D. 878; 38 N.Y.S.2d 37; 1942 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 6293
In re the Accounting of Zalewski

Opinion of the Court

The Consul was not entitled by virtue of his status at common law or the provisions of an existent treaty to exercise a right which was personal to the widow. The office of the Consul is no more extensive in that respect than that of a committee of an incompetent. (See Matter of Hills, 264 N. Y. 349, 353; Matter of Brown, 212 App. Div. 677, 679.) Present — Hagarty, Johnston, Adel, Taylor and Close, JJ. [177 Misc. 384.]
