Coleman v. Pleystead

Court of Appeals of the State of New York
Mar 20, 1869
40 N.Y. 341 (N.Y. 1869)

Opinion

Decided March 20th, 1869

D.B. Prosser, for respondents.

D.J. Sunderlin, for appellant.


If the opinion of Justice BACON, in the case of Bergen v. Bradley and others (36 N.Y.R., 316), as to an appeal, is to be regarded as the decision of this court, it is decisive of this case. As to the appeal, this case is in precisely the condition that was.

It is clear, from that opinion, that this action is not before this court in such a form as to admit of review.

There is nothing shown by the report of that case, that on that question it was not the opinion of the court. It must be so regarded. In accordance therewith, this appeal should be dismissed with costs.

Appeal dismissed.
