Smith v. Chenoweth
City of New York Municipal Court
Appeal from an order granting plaintiff’s motion to set off judgments. The facts are fully stated in the opinion.
1ConcurrenceMcAdam, C. J.
I concur on the authority of Tunstall v. Winton (31 Hun, 219; affirmed in 96 N. Y., 660), which in effect overrules-the decision in Hoyt v. Godfrey (11 Daly, 278). I believe the principle laid down by Judge Hyatt to be the correct one; and to be in accordance with the controlling authorities upon the subject.
Order reversed, with costs.
