Appleton v. Speer
The Superior Court of New York City · Decided June 28, 1889 · Sedgwick
25 N.Y. St. Rep. 816

Counsel

Abbett & Fuller and Henry Schmidt, for app’lt; Morse & Haynes, for resp’ts.

Appleton v. Speer

Opinion of the Court

Sedgwick, Oh. J.

From the original papers, taken together, on which the order of attachment was issued, it appeared that some facts, the existence of which it was necessary to prove, were sworn to upon information and belief, and the source of the information not disclosed. For this reason, the court below was correct in granting the motion to vacate the order. The original defect could not be remedied by proving, by other affidavits produced upon the motion to vacate, that the facts referred to really existed at. the time; nor is this true because the motion to vacate was made upon the original papers, when the plaintiff has no right to present additional papers. Bank v. Alberger, 75 N. Y., 179.

The order should be affirmed, with ten dollars costs.

Freedman, J., concurs.

Trttax, J.

The order should be affirmed for the reasons assigned by the chief judge. See Cribben v. Schillinger, 30 Hun, 248; Bank v. Ward, 35 id., 395; Buhl v. Ball, 41 id., 61; Lee v. Association, 19 N. Y. State Rep., 879.
