Stone v. Smith

Appellate Terms of the Supreme Court of New York · decided 1900-04-15

<p>Appeal from an order of the General Term of the City Court of the city of New York, modifying and affirming an order of the Special Term of said court.</p>

Decided 1900-04-15

Per Curiam.

¶1It does not appear from the defendant’s moving affidavit that the court- did not take proof of plaintiff’s claim be*741fore rendering judgment as required by the Code. The defendant, assailing the judgment on the ground of an alleged irregularity, was required to affirmatively establish it by affidavit. The absence of the proof from the judgment-roll does not aid the defendant’s contention, because the proof taken either on a default or on a trial of issues never forms part of the judgment-roll. Nothing appearing to the contrary, we are to assume that the court below performed its duty and took the necessary proof to establish the allegations of the complaint.

¶2Order affirmed, with costs.

¶3Present: Beekman, P. J., Giegerich and O’Gorman, JJ.

¶4Order affirmed, with costs.
