Whitney v. Post
Decided July 31, 1839
New York Court of Chancery · decided 1839-07-31
This cause was in readiness for hearing before the vice chancellor of the eighth circuit, who was legally incompetent to hear and decide it, because he had been counsel for one of the parties. An application was therefore made to the chancellor, either to hear the cause himself, or to refer it to some other vice chancellor to hear and decide the same.
