Kelleher v. Bragg

Court of Errors and Appeals
Mar 16, 1925
97 N.J. Eq. 547 (N.J. 1925)

Opinion

Argued January 23d 1925.

Decided March 16th, 1925.

On appeal from a decree of the court of chancery advised by Vice-Chancellor Lewis, whose opinion is reported in 96 N.J. Eq. 25.

Messrs. Collins Corbin, Mr. Edward A. Markley and Mr. David A. Newton, for the appellant.

Mr. Charles M. Mason, for the respondent.


The bill of complaint was filed in this case to compel the specific performance of a contract to sell real estate. The property is known as Nos. 2709, 2711, 2713 and 2713A Boulevard, Jersey City. Vice-Chancellor Lewis, before whom the case was heard, refused to advise a decree for specific performance, but did advise a decree dismissing the bill of complaint.

Our consideration of the case leads us to the same conclusion as that advised by the learned vice-chancellor.

The decree of the court of chancery is therefore affirmed.

For affirmance — THE CHIEF-JUSTICE, TRENCHARD, PARKER, MINTURN, BLACK, KATZENBACH, LLOYD, WHITE, GARDNER, VAN BUSKIRK, CLARK, McGLENNON, KAYS, JJ. 13.

For reversal — None.
