5 N.Y. St. Rep. 343
Decided September 20, 1886
New York Surrogate's Court · decided 1886-09-20
The petition of the executor of Motz asked that Edgar M, Crawford be required to surrender to him certain bonds which the said Crawford is alleged to hold unlawfully and in violation of the right of the petitioner, and that the said bonds belong to the estate of the decedent and that the petitioner is entitled to the possession thereof.
Decided 1886-09-20
¶1Mr. Crawford denies the title of petitioner’s testator to the bonds in question and asserts ownership by another and a lien, thereon as to unsettled matters between him and the assignee of Yetterlein.
¶2I think the answer should be more specific as to the nature of this lien, and the respondent may have ten days to file amended answer.
