Hart v. Oatman

Opinion of the Court

Edmonds, J.

On the principle established by the court of errors, in Henry v. Bank of Salina, (5 Hill, 523,) the plaintiff in interest in the suit is intended by the statute; rather than the party to the record. And as by granting the motion the plaintiff would lose a trial, it must be denied.(a)

The section of the judiciary act under which this decision was made was repealed by the 17th section of the statute amending that'Sct, passed Dec. 14, 1847.
