Adams v. Bush

New York Supreme Court

Decided May 15, 1865

New York Supreme Court · decided 1865-05-15

Motion to correct a case made for the purpose of an appeal. After the decisions in this cause immediately hereinabove reported, the plaintiff appealed to the court at general term from the order made by Hr. Justice Bocees, by which his renewed motion for a new trial was denied ; and at the general term the court directed the appeal to be dismissed.

Decided 1865-05-15

By the Court.

¶1The defendants should have made their motion to correct the ease, in the court of appeals, as the cause is now in that court upon the appeal; and no. action which may be taken by this court can be of any service to the defendants unless the case is sent back for the consideration of this court.*

¶2Motion denied.

¶3 In the court of appeals the respondent moved at the June term, 1865, to dismiss the appeal: 1st. Upon the ground that the order appealed from is not appealable. 2nd. If the said order shall be deemed appealable, then, that this court send the case back to the supreme court to correct the files of their court, and the errors complained of by defendants in this motion, by striking out of the case the papers and matters, which it was alleged were not before the general term, that were before the special term, held by Mr. Justice Bockes.

¶4The court held the order not appealable; ruling that they could not go behind the statement of one of the members of the court below, which was read by the respondent, that the order of dismissal was by reason of defect of papers.

¶5Accordingly, the appeal to the court of appeals was dismissed.
