The Superior Court of New York City, 1891

Searle v. Davis

Searle v. Davis
The Superior Court of New York City · Decided May 4, 1891
39 N.Y. St. Rep. 169

Counsel

Kellogg, Rose & Smith, for app’lt; Daniel O'Connell, for resp’ts.

Searle v. Davis

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

—There seems to be no doubt that the judge below was correct in holding that the trial of the action would involve the taking of a long account, unless the counsel for the appellant was correct in arguing that the account, if long, was such as would be taken under a counterclaim. The answer pleads as a defense what it pleads as a counterclaim, also. Then the long account would be involved in issue upon the complaint, irrespective of there being a counterclaim.

Order affirmed, with ten dollars costs.

Sedgwick, Ch., and Freedman, J., concur.
