Tally v. Hamilton

The Superior Court of New York City

Decided October 15, 1828

The Superior Court of New York City · decided 1828-10-15

The plaintiff brought his action upon a certain agreement in writing made with the defendant, and the defendant pleaded, in abatement, the non-joinder of C. H. Hall as a co-defendant, he being a joint contractor with the defendant, and equally responsible to the plaintiff upon the agreement.

Decided 1828-10-15

Per Curiam.

¶1The plea, it appears, was put in under a mistake as to the facts of the case, and under such circumstances as to make the mistake natural. The court will, therefore, permit the plea to be withdrawn, notwithstanding it is verified by affidavit, for that was necessary; but it must be upon terms. The defendant must pay the costs of the motion, and such as pertain to the plea, and must plead an issuable plea without delay.
