New York Supreme Court, 1796

Cohan v. Kip

Cohan v. Kip
New York Supreme Court · Decided October 15, 1796
1 Cole. & Cai. Cas. 50; 1 Cole. Cas. 45

Counsel

Jones for the defendant,

Cohan v. Kip

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

A plaintiff may .accept or refuse an imperfect copy of a plea; and if he accepts it, the *51court will compel the defendant to file a perfect plea, if that has not already been done. Here appears to have been a mere mistake on the part of the defendant. Let him file a plea instanter, and the default be set aside on payment of costs.
