Matter of Lynn v. Nichols

Court of Appeals of the State of New York
Oct 22, 1930
173 N.E. 897 (N.Y. 1930)

Opinion

Argued October 20, 1930

Decided October 22, 1930

Appeal from the Supreme Court of Monroe County.

Frank H. Hiscock and James E. Cuff for appellant.

Ralph H. Culley for respondent.


We think this case is controlled by the decision in Matter of Gilfillan v. Beyer ( 124 Misc. Rep. 628; 240 N.Y. 579), where the facts were almost identical.

Nothing that was said in Matter of Callaghan v. Voorhis ( 252 N.Y. 14) was intended to impair the authority of that decision. The court did no more than apply the principle previously enforced to the particular situation then before it. Indeed, the Gilfillan case was cited as authority.

The order should be affirmed without costs.

CARDOZO, Ch. J., POUND, KELLOGG and O'BRIEN, JJ., concur; CRANE and HUBBS, JJ., dissent; LEHMAN, J., not voting.

Order affirmed.
