Commissioner of Public Welfare v. Simon

246 A.D. 695

Opinion

Order of filiation reversed and the information dismissed on the ground that the statute limiting the time of commencement of paternity proceedings (Inferior Criminal Courts Act, § 64) prescribes that such proceedings must be brought within two years after the birth of the child, without prejudice, however, to a suit brought by the department of public welfare in behalf of the child if it should more fully appear that there is danger of the child becoming a public charge. Present — Martin, P. J., Merrell, McAvoy, O’Malley and Untermyer, JJ.
