Decided April 5, 1873
The Superior Court of New York City · decided 1873-04-05
The following is the opinion delivered at Special Term: Sedgwick, J.—The facts seem to Tbe that the plaintiffs kept in their office parcels of summons with places left blank for defendants’ names, and amounts to be claimed. The inference is, that if a business interview were not satisfactory, service of summons would follow, after the blanks had been filled up.

¶1The court below found, upon evidence somewhat conflicting, that deceit had been used for the purpose of bringing defendant within the jurisdiction of this court. We have carefully-examined the evidence and deem it amply sufficient to sustain such finding. The service of the summons was therefore properly vacated and set aside (Carpenter v. Spooner, 2 Sands, 716).
¶2The order must be affirmed, with costs.
¶3Monell and Curtis, JJ., concurred.
