3 Cai. Cas. 105

Roosevelt v. Dean

New York Supreme Court

Decided May 15, 1805

New York Supreme Court · decided 1805-05-15

AFTER a lengthy and desultory argument, the counsel for the plaintiff took an exception to the titling the notice of motion, and affidavit on which founded.

Decided 1805-05-15

Per curiam.

¶1All objections of this sort ought to be submitted as preliminary questions. We are not to sit here, have the grounds of motion laboriously investigated on a long discussion, and then have a matter of mere form pressed upon us. The entering into the argument is a waiver of all objections against its coming on.

¶2 The court in this cause said, that when an affidavit does not state that which ought to be alleged in support of the motion, the presumption is, it could not be asserted, and the inference of the bench will be against the party guilty of the omission.
