Jones v. Merchants National Bank

Jones v. Merchants National Bank
New York Supreme Court · Decided June 18, 1887
10 N.Y. St. Rep. 70

Counsel

George Zabriskie, for app’lt; Burton & Harrison, for resp’t.

Jones v. Merchants National Bank

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam

We do not think the supreme court at special term has any jurisdiction to correct or otherwise interfere with the minutes of the circuit court. The tribunals are so far distinct, that the special term has no supervisory power over the minutes of the circuit court.

On this ground, without considering any of the other points raised on the argument, we think the order appealed from should be reversed, with ten dollars costs and disbursements.
