Lacy v. Walcott

The Superior Court of the City of New York and Buffalo · decided 1893-01-03

Action by Peter De Lacy against Alfred F. Walcott, the Rapid Transit & Bridge Construction Company, and others, to compel the delivery to plaintiff of $100,000 of the capital stock of said company, and the repayment of $9,500. A demurrer to the complaint, as not stating facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action, was overruled, and the defendants appeal. Reversed. For former report, see 13 N. Y. Supp. 800.

Decided 1893-01-03

FREEDMAN, J.

¶1I concur. The action not being for an accounting and the recovery of a balance upon facts to be ascertained, but for the recovery of a definite and specific share, the facts upon which the-plaintiff is entitled to such share should have been set forth. The-complaint fails to allege sufficient facts for that purpose.
