Matter of Hope

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
May 1, 1935
244 App. Div. 808 (N.Y. App. Div. 1935)

Opinion

May, 1935.

Present — Lazansky, P.J., Young, Hagarty, Carswell and Scudder, JJ.


In a discovery proceeding, decree of the Surrogate's Court of Nassau county, adjudging that Herbert I. Foster was, at the time of his death, the owner of certain securities claimed by appellant as her property, unanimously affirmed, with costs, payable by appellant. While we regard as incompetent the testimony given by Mr. Hope, expressing his opinion that the decedent would not have stated that he was buying bearer bonds to produce an income for his wife as testified to by the witness Aubert, we think the testimony was not so prejudicial to the appellant as to call for a reversal of the decree. (Civ. Prac. Act, § 106.)
