Holmes v. Lansing

New York Supreme Court

Decided January 15, 1799

New York Supreme Court · decided 1799-01-15

EMOTT moved to amend the declaration after plea pleaded, which was granted, but a queftion now arofe, whether the defendant is entitled both to an imparlance and to coils: vide Str. 950. Dallas 465. where it is faid he fhall only have his election of one; but in 2 Blackft. Rep. 785. he had both.

Decided 1799-01-15

Per Curiam.

¶1There is a diveriity of pradlice between the King’s Bench and Common Pleas; *93.the Court will therefore adopt a rule of its own. As the amendment is for the benefit of the plaintiff, it is reafonable he ihould pay the coils of it: and it is equally reafonable that the defendant ihould have an opportunity to plead de novo.

¶2The plaintiff therefore may amend upon payment of coils and giving an imparlance.
