Hough v. Stover
New York Supreme Court · Decided November 15, 1804
2 Cai. Cas. 221; 1 Cole. & Cai. Cas. 394
Hough v. Stover

Opinion of the Court

It was ruled in this case at the last term, that an application in arrest of judgment was a non-enumerated motion *221and that the motion need not specify the reasons; because, as they are on the face of the record, they must necessarily appear to the adverse party.(a)

Since the decision in the text, motions in arrest of judgment have been classed among enumerated motions, and are entitled to a preference to other causes on the calendar. Rule of Saturday 18th February, 1809.
