Lansing v. Orcott

New York Supreme Court

Decided January 15, 1819PublishedCited by 4 opinions

FOOT, for the defendant, móved for an order for a perpetual stay of the execution issued in this cause ; and read a number of affidavits in support of the motion, relying on the case of Smith v. Page, (15 Johns. Rep. 395.)

1Per curiam

There are so many parties interested in this case, and the facts are so complex, that we cannot, on this application, do justice to all concerned. We shall, therefore, order a stay of the execution for three months, to the end, that the parties may apply to the Court of Chancery -r and that no costs are to he allowed to either side. We do not refuse to interfere farther, on the ground of any want of jurisdiction ; for we should not hesitate to grant relief, if it was such a clear case, that we could do justice to all the parties interested.

Rule accordingly.
