5 Daly 383

Fearing v. Irwin

New York Court of Common Pleas

Decided June 15, 1874

New York Court of Common Pleas · decided 1874-06-15

Motion to amend a case agreed upon and submitted in a controversy without action, by striking out an admission contained in it. The question submitted to the court for its decision was, whether Apthorp’s lane and Bloomingdale road, in the city of New York, had been duly closed according to law, and whether the plaintiffs, as abutting owners, acquired the fee simple to the middle of the road.

Decided 1874-06-15

Per curiam.*

¶1We consider it exceedingly doubtful whether the court has any power to grant such an application as this. Our jurisdiction is founded upon a case containing facts which the parties have agreed upon, and submitted without action ; and what we are asked to do is to amend the case by striking out a part of it against the will of the plaintiffs. But whether we have any such power or not, this is not a case where there has been any fraud, or any mutual misconception or mistake. The motion is, therefore, denied.

¶2 Present—Daly, Ob. J., and Robinson and J. F. Daly, JJ.
