Matter of Hurwitz v. Bernstein

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Apr 1, 1913
156 App. Div. 913 (N.Y. App. Div. 1913)

Opinion

April, 1913.


The title to the property being in dispute, its ownership can only be ascertained in a proceeding instituted by the receiver. The debtor cannot be punished for a criminal contempt upon a motion, even though the affidavits presented to the judge tend to establish that the evidence given by him relating to such ownership is untrue. The order must, therefore, be reversed. Order of the County Court of Kings county reversed, with ten dollars costs and disbursements, and motion denied, without costs. Jenks, P.J., Thomas, Carr, Rich and Stapleton, JJ., concurred.
