Catskill Bank v. Sanford

Catskill Bank v. Sanford
New York Supreme Court · Decided June 15, 1847 · Willard
4 How. Pr. 100

Counsel

M. Sanford, for the motion, cited code, §§ 283, 428., Robert Dorlon, contra.

Catskill Bank v. Sanford

Opinion of the Court

Willard, Justice.

The amended code took effect prior to the issuing of this scire facias, and must control the rights of the parties. By § 428 the writ of scire facias is abolished, and the remedies prescribed by the code, (§§ 283 and 284,) are substituted. The saving clause in § 428 relates only to proceedings by scire facias commenced before the code took effect, whether judgment had been rendered therein or not. The motion contemplated by § 284 renders a scire facias unnecessary, and is a more simple and less expensive remedy. I will set aside the scire facias for irregularity, but without costs and without prejudice.
