New York Supreme Court · decided 1805-05-15

<p>If a record of an incictment be lost, the court will grant leave to file one nunc pro tunc.</p>

Decided 1805-05-15

¶1AN indictment found against the defendants for a forcible entry and detainer, in April term, 1798, had, on being removed into this court, been quashed, and restitution ordered, but the record of it could not, on search in the clerk’s office, be found.

¶2Riker applied for leave to file a record nunc pro tunc, on an affidavit by the attorney employed in the prosecution, disclosing the above facts, and that, on an examination, of his register, he found not only that a record had been duly filed, but that he actually obtained an exemplification of it, which had been lost.

¶3Granted Accordingly.
