Summary
In Hamilton v. Cummings, 1 Johns. Ch. 517, Chancellor Kent reviews the early common-law authorities upon the subject, and concludes that "the weight of authority and the reason of the thing are equally in favor of the jurisdiction the court, whether the instrument is or is not void at law, and whether it be void from matter appearing on its face, or from proof taken in the cause, and that these assumed distinctions are not well founded.
