Post v. Westervelt

6 Sandf. 689

• Court: The Superior Court of New York City
• Decided: January 11, 1852
• Status: Published

Opinion

The above point was ruled by

Sandford, J.,

with'the concurrence of all the Justices. At the June term, 1850, the plaintiff noticed the cause for trial, it was reached and called on the calendar, but the plaintiff did not move it. By the statute, it thus became the clerk’s duty to place the cause on the calendar, when again noticed, as of the date of its being so called. The defendant moved for judgment as in case of a nonsuit, from which the plaintiff was relieved on paying costs and stipulating to try the cause at the next term. He accordingly noticed the cause for the next term, but it was not reached on the calendar. It would have been reached, if it had stood upon the date of the issue as it was prior to the neglect to try it at the June term.

A. L. Brown, for the defendant. L. 8. Thomas, for the plaintiff.
