Kimberly v. Blackford
New York Supreme Court · Decided January 15, 1861 · Welles
22 How. Pr. 443

Counsel

J. L. Angle, for defendant., H. Wilbur and S. Mathews, for plaintiff.

Kimberly v. Blackford

Opinion of the Court

Welles, Justice.

According to the views and principles adopted in the case of this plaintiff against Duncan L. Stewart, argued at this term, (reported ante, page 281,) the motions in these cases must be denied. It is not shown or intimated that the actions were not commenced and prosecuted in the most perfect good faith, nor does the moving affidavit show in any way that any legal defence to the action exists. The matters in this case shown, different from those in the case referred to, relate to the sufficiency of the fund of which the plaintiff is trustee, and do not, *444even in that view, make a case showing that the fund, when the trust shall be closed up, will be insufficient for the payment of all just claims against it.

The motions are denied, with seven dollars costs in each case.
