Liddell v. Paton

Court of Appeals of the State of New York
Nov 28, 1876
67 N.Y. 393 (N.Y. 1876)

Opinion

Argued November 20, 1876

Decided November 28, 1876

Benj. G. Hitchings for the appellant.

S.P. Nash for the respondents.


This court will not review a decision denying or vacating an order of arrest, where, upon any view of the facts, such decision can be upheld. In the case at bar the General Term reversed the order of the Special Term denying the motion to vacate the order of arrest, on the ground that, upon the preponderance of proof, the defendants were entitled to have the order of arrest set aside, and as we are not prepared to say that their decision was wrong in this respect, within the rule laid down, the appeal must be dismissed, with costs.

All concur.

Appeal dismissed.
