Palmer v. Scheftel
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York
Appeal in each of the above-entitled actions by the plaintiff, Archibald Palmer, as trustee, from a judgment of the Supreme Court in favor of the defendants therein, entered in the office of the clerk of the county of New York on the 7th day of April, 1919, upon the verdict of a jury, and also from orders entered in each of the above-entitled actions in said clerk’s office on the same day denying plaintiff’s motion for a new trial made upon the minutes.
1Opinion of the Court
Page, J.:
The three actions were tried as one. They were brought by the trustee in bankruptcy of the Cypress Knitting Mills, Inc., to recover from each defendant the unpaid portion of his subscription to the capital stock of the corporation. The amount claimed to be due in each case represented the par value of the stock issued for services to be thereafter rendered to the corporation. On a previous trial the court dismissed the complaint at the close of the plaintiff’s case. On appeal we reversed the judgments and directed a new trial. (Palmer v. Scheftel, 183 App. Div. 77; Palmer v. Buehler,…
