Demurrer for non joinder of parties is well taken where it appears that
the court can not determine the controversy without prejudice to the
rights of others, nor by saving their rights. It seems that § 122 is
the controlling section on demurrer for defect of parties, Wallace
agt. Eaton, 99.

A general allegation in a demurrer to an answer, that the facts therein
do not constitute a defence, is sufficient, Hyde agt. Conrad, 112.
see Answer, 206.

due diligence be found within this state, Vernam agt. Holbrook, 3.
see Witness, Dodge agt. Averill, 8.

Consent to use as testimony what the law will not recognize as such,
can not avail, although it be incorporated in the report of a referee,
Litchfield agt. Burwell, 341.

In proceedings to perpetuate testimony, it must be made to appear that
the object is in good faith to perpetuate testimony, Paton agt. West-
ervelt, 399.

EXECUTION, where an execution contains all the requisites of § 289, it is
sufficient. It need not be "in the name of the people," nor "tested,"
nor on its face "returnable in sixty days," Park agt. Church, 381.
see Proceedings, Supplementary, &c.

EXECUTORS, it seems that foreign executors may foreclose a mortgage in
this state without taking out letters testamentary here, Averill agt.
Taylor, 476.

EXEMPTION, when a horse or team is exempted, Wheeler agt. Cropsey 288.
exemption generally, id.

Patridge

Fees of justice must be paid on serving notice of appeal (see Appeal,)
Van Heusen agt. Kirkpatrick, 422.

see Surrogate, Gardner agt. Brown, 351.

It is no ground for a readjustment of costs that the clerk refuses to allow
50 cents for entering judgment. This fee is his and he has a right
to refuse it, Schermerhorn agt. Van Voast, 458.

FOREIGN CORPORATION. see Practice, 96, 183.

GUARDIAN, the facts upon which a plaintiff relies for judgment against in-

fant defendants must be established by legal proof, notwithstanding
the attorney for their guardian may have consented that judgment be
taken on the report of a referee, Litchfield agt. Burwell, 341.

HUDSON RIVER R. R. COMPANY, their obligation by their charter to

pay laborers, Warner agt. The Hudson River Rail Road Co., 454.

facts constituting an equitable defence to a legal demand, will not be
struck out as irrelevant, Burget agt. Bissell, 192.

INJUNCTION, a creditor of insolvent partners may have injunction to pro-
tect partnership property, Dillon agt. Horn, 35.

An application to dissolve an injunction made on the pleadings, the answer
being verified, must be regarded as made on affidavits, and affidavits
may be read in opposition, Schoonmaker agt. Dutch Church, 265.

(Florence agt. Bates. 2 Sand. 675, Krom agt. Hogan, 4 How. 225.
Contra, Hartwell agt. Kingsley, 2 Sand. 674, and note.)

ford, 293.

Contra, see Wordsworth agt. Lyon, 463.

A mere refusal to pay a debt, whether debtor be solvent or not, is not
cause for issuing an injunction, Pomeroy agt. Hindmarsh, 437.
nor is it sufficient that defendant threatens to make an assignment for the
benefit of his creditors. id.

suspicion, belief and information are not sufficient, id.

It is not the province of the Supreme Court to interfere by injunction,
where a remedy is given by appeal, Woodworth agt. Lyon, 463.

to authorize an injunction it must appear that plaintiff is entitled to the
final relief demanded according to law, independent of the Code, id.
Cure agt. Crawford, ante 293, disapproved.

INTEREST, to recover annual interest upon the whole principal payable in
installments, words must be used clearly to express that intention,
Bander agt. Bander, 41.

ISSUE, see Pleading.

JUDGMENT, the decision of a motion on a demurrer as frivolous, is a judg-

inent, King agt. Stafford, 30.

Where judgment is pronounced in open court, holden by eight judges,
without any dissent at the time, neither party can go behind such
public act to show that there was equal division of opinion among the
judges, Mason agt. Jones. 118 (Court of Appeals).

It seems that the Court of Appeals can order an affirmance where there
is an equal division of the judges, id.

Where a complaint is on separate and distinct bills, or accounts, and the
answer denies one bill only, and the balance claimed specifically in
the language of the complaint the plaintiff may have judgment for
the accounts not denied by the answer, Tracy agt. Humphrey, 155.
but the answer can not be stricken out on the ground of falsity where
it is verified, id.

LANDLORD

LORD AND TENANT, tenants from year to year may be removed by summary proceedings, Prouty agt. Prouty, 81.

such a tenant is included in the term "tenants at will" in the statutes of '30 and '49, and may be removed upon one month's notice to quit, terminating with the year, id.

the affidavit should state that tenant holds over without permission of
his landlord, id.

Distinction between sub lease and assignment of the original terra,
Linden agt. Hepburn, 188,

see also, Pleading, id.

The provision of the Revised Statutes (2 R. S. 516, § 47) is inconsistent with the Code, and therefore repealed, Cure agt. Crawford, 293. proceedings to remove tenant may be stayed if they would produce injury to plaintiff, id.

Contra, Woodworth agt. Lyon, 463.

LIEN OF ATTORNEY, the lien of an attorney for his costs is subordinate to the equities existing between the parties, Noxon agt. Gregory, 339.

[ocr errors]

that in which it is triable, &c.," applies exclusively to motions made upon notice, Peebles agt. Rogers, 208.

"The county where the action is triable" includes any county in which, according to sections 123, 124, 125, the plaintiff is at liberty to have the action tried, id.

Where notice of motion asked to strike out answer as frivolous, "or for such other relief, &c." held, that judgment, on account of its frivolousness, could not be given, Darrow agt Miller, 247.

Motion to dismiss complaint, Cusson agt Whalon, 302.

in such proceedings, the fact of non residence is evidence that the defendant can not. after due diligence be found within this state, id. see Publication, Evertson agt. Thomas, 45.

see Foreign Corporation.

Although the Code authorizes an attachment against a non resident in an

action for the recovery of money, whether for a wrong or on contract, it is only in the latter case that a suit can be commenced unless defendant can be served within this state: Hernstein agt. Matthewson, 196.

see Executors, Averill agt. Taylor, 477.
