76 A.D. 305

Hodges v. Walker

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York · decided 1902-07-01

Appeal by the plaintiffs, Apollonia Iiodg.es and another, from an order of the Supreme Court, made at the Kings County Special Term and entered in the office of the clerk of the county of Riche mond on the 10th day of May, 1902, denying the plaintiffs’ motion to compel Margaret J. Cornell* the purchaser at the foreclosure sale had in the above-entitled action, to complete her purchase.

Relies on Campbell v. . Stokes · Townshend v. . Frommer

Decided 1902-07-01

Per Curiam :

¶1We are of opinion that the title based upon the judgment of foreclosure herein is not good, even upon the authority of Townshend v. Frommer (125 N. Y. 446). That decision really turned upon the point that the whole estate was transferred to the trustee, and that every interest not embraced in the trust remained in the grantor; so that, as was stated by Judge Gray, no estate could.,vest in any others until the death of the grantor terminated the estate in the trustee.

¶2If this interpretation of the opinion in that case be correct, the result reached there is not controlling here; and the rule which was applied in Campbell v. Stokes (142 N. Y. 23) seems to have justified the purchaser in refusing to take this title. We can see no reason why the doctrine which was there applied to partition does not equally apply to the foreclosure of a mortgage.

¶3The order appealed from should be affirmed,

¶4All concurred.

¶5Order affirmed, with ten dollars costs and disbursements.
