Marks v. Greenwald

City of New York Municipal Court · decided 1895-05-15

<p>In an action upon a bond to recover for funds misappropriated by the principal, an itemized statement of the plaintiff’s claim should be ordered on application of the surety where it'appears that he is not in possession of the knowledge sought for.</p>

Decided 1895-05-15

Fitzsimons, J.

¶1This casé is one in which a hill of particulars could be ordered by the court upon proper application.

¶2The plaintiff sues for the misappropriation of funds by the defendant Weinberg, the defendant Greenwald being his surety; he, Greenwald, asks for an itemized statement of the plaintiff’s claim; certainly a very reasonable request to make and one which should be granted by the court unless the defendant Greenwald possessed the sought for knowledge, which he denies he has, because he swears that it will be impossible for him to answer herein unless the bill of particulars requested is granted him.

¶3Therefore, because of such statement, the court had a right, in fact it was its duty, to make the order appealed from, which is affirmed, with costs.

¶4Oonlan, J., concurs.

¶5Order affirmed, with costs.
