Cohen v. Lundberg

The complaint in this action was oral and the claim “conversion.” It was conceded upon the trial that, if the plaintiffs were entitled to recover anything, it was the sum of $164.48, for which sum judgment was rendered. An examination of the record discloses that the plaintiffs failed to prove any conversion of the goods received by the defendant, but proved sufficient to enable them under the concession of record to recover the said sum of $164.48. The judgment makes no provision for the arrest and imprisonment of the defendant, and under its present form no body execution could (section 251, Municipal Court Act [Laws 1902, c. 580]), and none should, be issued.

To that end, therefore, the pleadings are amended to conform to the proof, and the judgment affirmed, with costs.
