Loscher v. Hager

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York · decided 1908-03-06

Appeal by the plaintiff, William Losclier, from an order of the Supreme Court, made at the New York Special Term and entered in the office of the clerk of the county of New York on the 10th day of December, 1907, granting the respondent’s motion for a bill of particulars of plaintiff’s two separate causes of action. The complaint sets out separately that defendants falsely accused plaintiff of stealing a stove, and assaulted him.and caused his arrest.

Decided 1908-03-06

Per Curiam :

¶1The plaintiff alleges nb special damage. It is, therefore, unnecessary to require him to furnish the names of the. various business concerns with whom he was formerly employed. The defendant admits having called the police officer to arrest plaintiff, and should be at least as well able to ascertain their names as plaintiff is. The order must, therefore, be modified by striking out the third subdivision of the particulars required to be given under the first cause of action, and the first .subdivision of the particulars required to be given under the second cause of action. The direction for the pre- • elusion of evidence in case of plaintiff’s failure to give, the required particulars must also be stricken from the order. A motion to that effect may be made hereafter in case the plaintiff fails to comply with this order or complies with it insufficiently.

¶2The order appealed from will be modified in accordance with this memorandum and as modified affirmed, without costs.

¶3Present — Patterson, P. -L, Ingraham, McLaughlin, Clarke and Scott, JJ.

¶4Order modified as directed in. opinion and as modified affirmed, without costs. Settle order on notice. .
