Hoffman v. Hoffman
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York
1Opinion of the Court
Crouch, J.:
This is a summary proceeding to' remove a squatter. The answer was a denial and a counterclaim alleging that defendant was the owner, and petitioner the tenant, of the premises in question, holding over and in possession after non-payment of rent.
