City of New York Municipal Court, 1895

Dunn v. Wehle

Dunn v. Wehle
City of New York Municipal Court · Decided July 1, 1895 · McCabthy
12 Misc. 653

Counsel

Gha/rles Wehle, for appellant., John Whalen, for respondent.

Dunn v. Wehle

Opinion of the Court

McCabthy, J.

It seems to me clear that the want of jurisdiction in this case appears on the face of the complaint.

Before the plaintiff can claim any money judgment he must apply to a court of equity, as appears by the demand of the complaint for judgment, to wit: “ First, that the alleged assignment aforesaid be declared fraudulent and void and of no effect, and that the same be set aside.”

The court has no power to grant such relief, and the order to discontinue without costs was properly allowed.

Order is, therefore, affirmed, with costs.

Van Wyck, J., concurs.

Order affirmed, with costs.
