New York Supreme Court, 1862

Lyon v. Sherman

New York Supreme Court · Decided May 15, 1862 · Barnard

14 Abb. Pr. 393

Counsel

S. W. & R. B. Roosevelt, for the motion., Charles W. Sandford, opposed.

Opinion of the Court

Barnard, J.

According to the cases of Claflin a. Sanger (11 Abbotts' Pr., 338; S. C. at Chambers, 31 Barb., 36), Moody, a. Townsend (3 Abbotts’ Pr., 375), and Davis a. Morris (21 Barb., 152), all decided by the Supreme Court of this district, the confessions of judgment in these actions are insufficient. But, I think, the cases of Freligh a. Brink* (22 N. Y., 418), and Banning a. Carpenter (20 Ib., 447), have overruled the above cases in this district.

The principle in the above two cited cases in the Court of Appeals will sustain the judgments in these actions.

Motion denied, with $10 costs.

The case of Freligh a. Brink, 22 N. Y., 418, reverses S. C., 30 Barb., 144, and 16 How. Pr., 272 ; and affirms S. C., 18 How. Pr., 89.
