New York Supreme Court, 1824

Underwood v. Irving

Underwood v. Irving
New York Supreme Court · Decided August 15, 1824
3 Cow. 59

Counsel

R. Sedgwick, for the motion,

Underwood v. Irving

Opinion of the Court

Curia.

We do not view the matter in this light. The first order made pursuant to the statute had been disregarded: The 10 weeks advertisement was necessary to give the commissioner jurisdiction. Till this was done, he had no authority. and the second order was a nullity. The assignment must probably share the same fate, though it is not necessary to pass upon the effect of this ; and we must not be understood as doing so. We are not to be guided by a consideration of the embarrassment which may arise from that act.

Motion denied.
