The Superior Court of New York City · decided 1877-01-07

<p>Stipulation not vacated, when.</p> <p>Where a party enters into one for the purpose of obtaining that which he could not otherwise have procured, and thereby obtains it, he should not be relieved from it.</p>

Decided 1877-01-07

By the Court.—Freedman, J.

¶1—In order to obtain a hearing in the court of appeals, the defendant and appellant stipulated that the order made by the general term of this court on May 8, 1876, be amended in certain particulars.

¶2Having thus secured a hearing which he could not have otherwise procured, and compelled the respondent to meet his argument on the merits of the case, it seems to me but just and proper that he should be held bound by it.

¶3The fact that the hearing resulted in an unfavorable decision, furnishes no. reason to the contrary.

¶4The motion to vacate the order of November 5, 1877, should be denied with ten dollars costs.

¶5Curtis, Ch. J., and Sanford, J., concurred.
