New York Supreme Court
rpHIS is an action brought against the defendant, as amarX ried woman, to recover two sums of money upon her promise to pay the same, and to have the amount decreed to be a lien and charge against her separate property.
1Opinion of the CourtPotter, J.
This case comes before the court upon the report of a referee, appointed to take and report the evidence. The plaintiff takes title to the demands by purchase, under an order made at a special term, on the application of the assignees of one William Baker, who made a voluntary assignment to them. The order purports to give authority to sell the assets of Baker, which assets included the claim in suit. By what authority the court made such an order, or how they obtained jurisdiction to make the order, is not shown. If no suit was pending in which it was made, the order is a nullity.
