Phelps v. Mayor

Opinion of the Court

Van Brunt, P. J.

The judgment in this case must be reversed and a new trial ordered, with costs to the appellant to abide the event, for the reason that the statute of limitations has barred the action before its commencement.

The reasons for the application of the statute have been given in the case of Clowes v. Mayor* decided herewith.

Bartlett and Macomber, JJ., concur.
