Spinney v. Field

Opinion of the Court

Van Brunt, P. J.

This is an appeal from an order granting a commission upon the ground that the commissioner named is an improper person. The only suggestion upon which is based the impropriety of his selection is that his name was suggested by the witness. That the commissioner has any' relations with the plaintiff or the witness is not shown; and the plaintiff’s attorney frankly told defendants that the name had been suggested by the witness. Without something more substantial than mere suspicion, in view of the difficulty in getting a commissioner, we do not think the order should be interfered with. The order should be affirmed, with $10 costs and disbursements. All concur.
