New York Supreme Court · Decided May 15, 1823
1 Cow. 98

Counsel

W. Wood, for the plaintiff in error., H. Rathbone, contra.

Kies v. Tifft

Opinion of the Court

Curia.

In our opinion, the Common Pleas erred. The defendants were hound to usé due diligence in collecting the money on the bond and mortgage, particularly as they were so directed by the plaintiff. They ought not to have suffered a term to pass, after the money fell due, without a prosecution. (Moakly v. Riggs, 19 John. 69.)

Judgment reversed.
