New York Supreme Court, 1881

Sheppard v. Earle

Sheppard v. Earle
New York Supreme Court · Decided October 15, 1881
32 N.Y. Sup. Ct. 317
Sheppard v. Earle

Opinion of the Court

Judgment reversed and new trial ordered, costs to abide event. Meld, that as the complaint contains sufficient allegations to constitute a cause of action for the recovery of the money paid, on the ground of an entire failure of consideration, all the other allegations may be disregarded, and a recovery may be had on that ground if the evidence warrants it. (33 N. Y., 581; 42 id., 83.) This point was not passed upon on the former appeal, all that was then held being that an action for a breach of warranty could not be maintained upon the facts proved.
