New York Court of Appeals, 1887

Shearman v. Pope

Shearman v. Pope
New York Court of Appeals · Decided July 1, 1887
8 N.Y. St. Rep. 710

Shearman v. Pope

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

The same court which required the plaintiff to give security for costs subsequently made an order allowing the plaintiff to prosecute this action as a poor person. The stay of proceedings granted when the first order was made, did not deprive the court of jurisdiction to make the second order, and that order was an answer to the motion to dismiss the complaint.

The order should be affirmed, with costs.

All concur.
