Opinion
Mary R. Hunt, Respondent, v. Richard Church et al., Executors, etc., Appellants.
(Argued April 16, 1878;
decided April 23, 1878.)
George F. Danforth for appellant.
J. B. Adams for respondent.
[MAJORITY]
Agree to affirm on opinion of Special Term.
All concur.
Judgment affirmed.
A motion was subsequently made for a reargument, on the ground that a point was omitted on the argument which would have been fatal to the judgment, to wit: That the action was against the representatives of a deceased surety upon a joint obligation, and that his estate was not liable. The court denied the motion, on the ground that if a reargument was had it would be upon the original record, in which there was no exception raising the point; and so, it could not be considered.
The case of Risley v. Brown (67 N. Y., 160), distinguished; as there, a motion was made to revive the action against the personal representatives of a deceased defendant, which motion was opposed on the ground presented here, and the question was fairly before the court on the motion.
All concur.
Motion denied.
