New York Supreme Court
Decided May 15, 1804PublishedCited by 2 opinions
Bogeet, in behalf of the defendants, moved for a struck jury in this cause, on an acknowledgment from the attoi ney of the plaintiff of service of notice of the motion, hut this was not accompanied with any affidavit of the importance or intricacy of the cause.
1Opinion of the Court
Per Ouriam.
The court ought to be satisfied that the cause is either intricate or important, (vide ante, vol. 1, p. 498; Spencer v. Sampson, Foot v. Croswell,) and that by affidavit.
1ST. B. The court seemed inclined against the granting of struck juries, as a matter of course, on a mere formal affidavit.
