Lugar v. Byrnes

Lugar v. Byrnes
New York Supreme Court · Decided May 18, 1888
1 N.Y.S. 262; 15 N.Y. St. Rep. 970; 1888 N.Y. Misc. LEXIS 1285 (New York Supplement)

Counsel

Rabe & Keller, for appellant. R. L. Harrison, for respondents.

Lugar v. Byrnes

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

Although it would not have been error for the court below to have granted the motion as to some of the allegations of the complaint which are complained against upon this appeal, yet, as there is no evidence that the retention of these allegations will in any way embarrass the defendant in his defense, the ruling of the court striking them out should not be reversed upon appeal. It is only in those cases in which harm or injustice will be done to the defendant by the retention of the allegations that such a motion should be granted. The case at bar does not present any such reason, and the order appealed from should be affirmed, with $10 costs and disbursements.
