New York Supreme Court, 1814

Bissell v. Hall

Bissell v. Hall
New York Supreme Court · Decided May 15, 1814
11 Johns. 168
Bissell v. Hall

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

The plea of the statute of limitations was improperly overruled by the justice. Judgments of the courts of other states are considered in this state as simple contracts only, to which the statute of limitations may be pleaded. It was so decided by this court in the case of Hubbell v. Cowdrey. (5 Johns. Rep. 131.) The judgment below must, therefore, be reversed.

Judgment reversed.
