Youngs v. Kent
The Superior Court of New York City · Decided March 5, 1870 · Jones
2 Sweeny 248

Counsel

Mr. Charles Jones for appellants., Mr. Henry J. Scudder for respondents

Youngs v. Kent

Opinion of the Court

By the Court:

Jones, J.

The averments contained in the answer clearly constitute no defense. If there had been so substantial a variance as to render the four barrels less valuable than the sum agreed *251to be paid therefor, then the difference between the actual value and the price agreed might have been recouped by an answer containing proper averments. But the answer does not set up a recoupment. It is an answer in bar.

Order and judgment affirmed with costs of appeal.
