Peel v. Elliott

Peel v. Elliott
New York Supreme Court · Decided September 20, 1858
16 How. Pr. 477

Counsel

Henry Whittaker, for plaintiff., C. A. Seward, for defendant.

Peel v. Elliott

Opinion

After appeal taken from an order, denying a motion, the renewal of that motion, under leave given in the order, precludes the hearing of the appeal, pending the renewed motion.

The defendant having appealed from the order denying his discharge, subsequently renewed his motion on affidavit, under leave given in that order.

The plaintiff obtained time to answer the affidavit, and pending the renewed motion, the defendant moved the appeal in its order on the non-enumerated calendar.

The plaintiff’s counsel objected preliminarily that, by availing himself of the leave granted, the defendant had elected to abide by and could not impeach the order in question, and that accordingly, his appeal was untenable.

The court allowed the objection, and refused to hear the appeal.
