Quimby v. Hart

Quimby v. Hart
New York Supreme Court · Decided August 15, 1818
15 Johns. 304
Quimby v. Hart

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

The only question is, whether the plea of title was tendered in due season, to suspend ,the jurisdiction of the justice. We think it was too late after pleading the general issue, demanding a jury, and obtaining an adjournment. The defendant must make his election to interpose his plea of title, before any other plea. It would be inconvenient and irregular to allow a different practice.

Judgment reversed.
