Opinion
Nathan Hasberg, Respondent, v. John B. McCarty, Appellant.
(Argued April 15, 1891;
decided June 2, 1891.)
Appeal from judgment of the General Term of the Court of Common Pleas in and for the city and county of New York, entered upon an order made February 6,1888, which affirmed an interlocutory judgment and final judgment herein in favor of plaintiff.
This action was brought to annul, for alleged fraud, an agreement between the parties as to the disposition of partnership assets and for an accounting. The trial court found the fraud as alleged, and the only questions here, save as to the allowance of interest, were as to whether there was evidence to sustain the finding, and as to whether plaintiff had lost by delay the right to rescind, both of which were determined in favor of plaintiff.
John JET. V. Arnold for appellant.
Mathcmiel Myers for respondent.
