Currie v. Jersey City

Court of Errors and Appeals
Oct 19, 1925
98 N.J. Eq. 689 (N.J. 1925)

Opinion

Argued June 2d 1925.

Decided October 19th, 1925.

On appeal from a decree advised by Vice-Chancellor Griffin, whose opinion is reported in 95 N.J. Eq. 412.

Mr. Thomas J. Brogan, for the appellants.

Mr. Richard Boardman, for the respondents.


Of the five points specifically taken up and decided by the learned vice-chancellor, only two are urged on this appeal. They are, first, that the filing in the county clerk's office of the Currie map (which he properly held to be an unofficial filing), plus the adoption of grades by the city, worked a complete dedication; second, that the deeds made by complainants (in which intent to dedicate was expressly disclaimed) were a confirmation of an original dedicatory intent.

We conclude that the decree should be affirmed, and for the reasons given in the opinion of Vice-Chancellor Griffin so far as they deal with the points now argued. As to other points considered by him, but not raised here, we, naturally, express no opinion.

For affirmance — THE CHIEF-JUSTICE, PARKER, KALISCH, BLACK, KATZENBACH, CAMPBELL, LLOYD, WHITE, VAN BUSKIRK, McGLENNON, KAYS, JJ. 11.

For reversal — PARKER, J. 1.
