In re Lewis

Opinion of the Court

The court at G-eneral Term, said : “If the power to entertain proceedings of this character in a summary manner exists at all, it should be exercised in such exceptional cases only as are free from doubt as to consequences. The case at bar falls within the principle of the Hatch case (43 Super: Ct. 94), and should be controlled by the decision of that case.”

Opinion by Freedman, J.; Russell, J., concurred.

Order affirmed, with costs.
