Tabor v. . People of the State of New York
New York Court of Appeals · Decided October 17, 1882 · Danforth
90 N.Y. 248; 1882 N.Y. LEXIS 372

Tabor v. . People of the State of New York

Opinion of the Court

Danforth, J.

The decision does not stand upon a modern rule, but one which, for aught that appears, has been always declared by courts to be the law. (1 Chit. Or. L. 747; People v. Merrill, 14 N. Y. 74.) It is also recognized by statute (2 E. S’., Pt. IY, chap. 2, art. 2, §§ 14, 15), and we know of no authority which will sustain a writ of error in a criminal case until after final judgment.

The writ in this case was, therefore, properly dismissed, and the order appealed from should be affirmed.

All concur.

Order affirmed.
