New York Supreme Court, 1815

Stewart v. Meigs

Stewart v. Meigs
New York Supreme Court · Decided October 15, 1815
12 Johns. 417
Stewart v. Meigs

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

Whether the delay at Lawrence's house would operate as a discontinuance, need not be decided. The trial of the cause at the justice’s own house, a different place from that appointed in the summons, was irregular, and the judgment must be reversed. (Case v. Van Ness, 1 Johns. Cas. 243.)

Judgment reversed.
