Orvis v. Curtiss

New York Court of Common Pleas

Decided May 17, 1894PublishedCited by 4 opinions

Appeal from eleventh district court. Action by Charles E. Orvis against William H. Curtiss. There was a judgment in favor of plaintiff, and defendant appeals. Reversed.

1Per curiam

The justice had no jurisdiction to render the judgment he did in this case, because he rendered it after the time limited by law for his doing so. This appears from the return itself. Therefore, the judgment must be reversed, with costs.
