Opinion
October 23, 1907.
C.W. Wilson, Jr., for the appellant.
Ferd W. Buermeyer, for the respondent.
The plaintiff made a requisition on the defendant, who is the clerk of Kings county, for a search against "Catherine Joyce, wife of Edward Joyce", and this action is against the said clerk for damages for negligence in omitting from his return a judgment against Cassie Joyce. "Cassie" is said to be a diminution of Catherine, like Katie, but if it be it is not generally known or used as such. We are referred to no authority which would sustain the conclusion that the omission of the judgment was negligence.
The judgment is affirmed.
HIRSCHBERG, P.J., WOODWARD, RICH and MILLER, JJ., concurred.
Judgment of the Municipal Court affirmed, with costs.
