Schecktman v. Schecktman

Court of Errors and Appeals
Sep 19, 1925
98 N.J. Eq. 695 (N.J. 1925)

Opinion

Argued May 2d 1925.

Decided September 19th, 1925.

On appeal from the court of chancery advised by Vice-Chancellor Church, whose opinion is reported in 95 N.J. Eq. 493.

Mr. Harry Castelbaum, for the appellant.

Mr. Benjamin M. Weinberg, for the respondent.


Our examination of the evidence in this case convinces us that the moneys received by the wife from her husband were not a gift, and that when later they were placed to the husband's credit in his bank or used to pay the dues on building association stock standing in his name, it was but the application of his own funds. In this view of the facts and their import it is unnecessary to determine the legal effect of the application of the funds to the husband's account in bank or to the payment of his building association dues on the assumption that the moneys were originally a gift from the husband to the wife.

The decree is affirmed, with costs.

For affirmance — THE CHIEF-JUSTICE, TRENCHARD, PARKER, MINTURN, KALISCH, BLACK, KATZENBACH, CAMPBELL, LLOYD, WHITE, GARDNER, VAN BUSKIRK, McGLENNON, KAYS, JJ. 14.

For reversal — None.
