Sharp v. Dusenbury
New York Supreme Court
Decided October 15, 1800PublishedCited by 1 opinion
P. W. YATES moved to set aside interlocutory judgment, because the sheriff, before whom the inquisition was taken, had admitted improper and re jected proper evidence.
1Per curiam
When parties agree to submit a controversy to the decision of the sheriff, the inquest is to be considered as in nature of an arbitration, and therefore, the court will never set aside the inquisition merely because the sheriff admits improper or rejects proper evidence.
Motion denied.
