In re the Estate of Lesser

Wingate, S.

A more unsatisfactory method for the determination of the distinctly complicated questions involved in this case than that which has here been adopted can scarcely be imagined.

Several of the opposing parties have attempted to impress upon the court the propriety of their positions by means of extended recitals in their briefs of alleged facts and circumstances which are in no wise disclosed by the record, entirely losing sight of the basic principle that such statements are wholly worthless for any purpose. (Matter of Markowitz, 152 Misc. 1, 2; Matter of Mc Keogh, 151 id. 327, 328.)
