Sharp v. Pell

Sharp v. Pell
New York Supreme Court · Decided October 15, 1813
10 Johns. 486

Counsel

Mulligan, contra,

Sharp v. Pell

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

We have frequently decided, in relation to the proceedings in partition, where an infant is concerned, that a guardian ad litem must be appointed under the act. It is not sufficient that the testamentary or other general guardian is made a party. The infant must, therefore, name and apply for the appointment of a guardian ad litem, in this case, or the court will appoint a guardian for him. (a)
