Matter of Scruton v. Martin

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Third Department
May 16, 1951
278 App. Div. 884 (N.Y. App. Div. 1951)

Opinion

May 16, 1951.

Appeal from Children's Court, St. Lawrence County.

Present — Foster, P.J., Heffernan, Deyo, Bergan and Coon, JJ.


The evidence sustains the contention that the defendant was the father of the child involved. Under the circumstances of this case there was no abuse of discretion in denying the motion for an examination before trial. Although defendant may have been somewhat restricted in his right to cross-examine in the first instance he was subsequently permitted to go into the prohibited matters and any error in this regard was thereby corrected. Order unanimously affirmed, without costs.
