New York Supreme Court, 1800

Vischer v. Van Alen

Vischer v. Van Alen
New York Supreme Court · Decided October 15, 1800
1 Cole. & Cai. Cas. 116; 1 Cole. Cas. 115
Vischer v. Van Alen

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

In this case, it appears, that the consent rules were entered into, a new declaration *117delivered, but no plea filed, and thereupon judgment entered, by default, against the tenant.

Although at the time of signing the rule, the plea ought to have been put in, yet the entering the default in this manner was improper. It should have been against the casual ejector, according to the terms of the consent rule. There can be no judgment by default against the tenant.

Let the defendant take the effect of his motion.
