New York Supreme Court

Decided December 15, 1844

New York Supreme Court · decided 1844-12-15

Motion by plaintiffs for leave to amend their declaration by adding such new counts thereto, upon the same cause of action already stated in said declaration as may be necessary and proper, truly to set forth the plaintiffs cause of action, and to enable them to try the merits.—This is a special action on the case for deceit in procuring goods of plaintiffs ; issue joined 18th may last. Defendant has examined a witness by commission.

Decided 1844-12-15

¶1Defendant objects on the grounds that it is too late after testimony has been taken, and alleges actions of this kind should be put upon the same ground, as to amendments, as penal actions, where it is not done except under very special circumstances. Graham’s Practice 654, and cases there cited.

¶2Plaintiff’s papers show that the newly discovered evidence has no bearing upon defendant’s testimony taken by commission, and the application was not induced by that.-

¶3Decision.—Motion granted on payment of costs opposing motion and the costs of a new commission, if one shall become necessary, and the costs of the plea.
