New York Supreme Court · decided 1834-06-05

This was a motion for a mandamus, directing the New-York common pleas to make return to a certiorari, issued to remove a cause into this court, commenced in the common pleas by S. & E. Peltier against the relators. The suit was commenced by the filing and service of .a declaration on the defendants, on the 13th of February, in which suit the plaintiffs demanded a sum exceeding $500.

Decided 1834-06-05

¶1*194By the court,

Nelson J.

¶2The statute directs that a certio-rari of this kind shall not be effectual to remove a cause, unless it be filed in the office of the clerk of the court in which such action is pending, after the defendants shall have duly appeared. 2 R. S. 389, § 7. The statute, to be sure, speaks of an appearance by entering and perfecting special bail, if bail shall have been required ; but in analogy to the statute, when no bail is required as when the suit is commenced by declaration, the defendants should have caused their appearance to have been entered by the clerk before suing out the certiorari. The notice of retainer was not enough.

¶3Motion denied.
