Legal Opinion
Coffin v. Tracy
New York Supreme Court
Decided August 15, 1805PublishedCited by 15 opinions
IN ERROR from a £10 court, the defendant relied on the now plaintiff’s having confessed judgment in the inferior tribunal, and therefore this case was distinguishable from those, in which the court had determined an executor could not sue before a justice of the peace.
1Per curiam
Consent will take away error, but neither that nor confession will give jurisdiction.
N. B. This cause was tried in the court below before the act of the last session.
