See “Vendor and Purchaser.” Of intoxicating liquors, see “Intoxicating Liquors.” Tax sales, see “Taxation,” § 3. § 1. Requisites and validity of contract. A wife, orally agreeing to pay for coal to be delivered to her insolvent husband for use in his business, held liable therefor as for goods purchased by her.—Franklin. Coal Co. v. Hicks (Sup.) 875. § 2. Modification or rescission of contract. Where the claim of rescission of a sale is based on an instruction from the husband of the buyer, his authority to give such instruction must be shown.—Hornberger v. Feder (Sup.) 865. Title to the property sold cannot be revested in the seller by rescission of the sale, where the contract of sale is fully executed; there being a valid delivery, and no fraud.—Hornberger v. Feder (Sup.) 86o. Where one who has been induced to purchase property by false representations as to its quality returns it to the vendor, the jury are authorized to find that the purchaser rescinded the sale.—Cushman v.' De Mallie (Sup.) 878. § 3. Performance of contract. Evidence held sufficient to show acceptance of goods sold.—O’Sullivan v. New York Lumber Corp. (Sup.) 493.' § 4. Operation and effect. A vendor held entitled, on rescission of sale for fraud, to recover goods from one to whom the purchaser had transfered, when the latter had notice of the fraudulent intention of the purchaser.—Gowing v. Warner (City Ct. N. Y.) 500. § 5. Warranties. An implied warranty in an executory contract of sale survives the acceptance where the defects were not discoverable on ordinary inspection.—Osborn v. American Ink Co. (Sup.) 70. Where a bill of sale conveys all right, title, and interest in a liquor tax certificate, the seller expressly warrants the sale, although not in possession of the certificate at the time.—Frank v. Forgotston (City Ct. N. Y.) 1118. If the language used at the time of a sale, on a fair construction, is equivalent to an undertaking on the part of the owner that the property is what it is represented to be, it is sufficient to create a warranty, without the use of the word “warrant” or “warranty.”—Petty v. Fish (City Ct. N. Y.) 1127. " § 6. Remedies of seller. In an action to recover for hay sold, where defendant refused to receive for defect in quality, what the agreement was as to quality, and whether hay delivered corresponded therewith, is for jury.—Carey v. Baldwin (Sup.) 581. In an action to recover for hay sold, where the defendant refused to receive it, as not up to the quality agreed on, and the railroad company sold it for transportation charges, the price for which the company sold it is immaterial.—Carey v. Baldwin (Sup.) 581. One claiming a breach of warranty as a defense to a check given in payment for goods sold has the burden of'proving the breach.—Sharpies y. Angelí (Sup.) 643. Where plaintiff sued for goods sold to a third party as the agent of defendant, and the sale was made to third party while acting for himself, and defendant guarantied payment, it was error to refuse to instruct that, if there was a sale to the third party, and an agreement by defendant to guaranty payment, the verdict should be for defendant.—Booth v. Newton (Sup.) 727. Where, in action for goods sold to defendant’s decedent, the evidence showed that the goods were sold to another, and that defendant’s decedent guarantied the payment, the complaint should be dismissed.—Booth v. Newton (Sup.) 727. § 7. Remedies of 'buyer. A breach of an express warranty survives the acceptance, and the buyer need not return or offer to return the defective goods to entitle him to damages.—Osborn v. American Ink Co. (Sup.) 70. Where a contract required delivery of Rio coffee of a certain grade and standard, and coffee tendered was of such grade, an instruction that the seller was required to deliver natural coffee was erroneous.—Crossman v. Lurman (Sup.) 560. Evidence that coffee was covered by an opaque substance, without proof that the covering concealed damage, was not sufficient to justify the buyer’s refusal to accept under Public Health Laws, § 41.—Crossman v. Lurman (Sup.) 560. Where coffee tendered was covered by an opaque substance, evidence that such substance did not conceal any defects was competent, to show that the sale was not prohibited by Public Health Laws, § 41.—Crossman v. Lurman (Sup.) 560. Error in. charging that plaintiff could not recover without proof of express warranty held prejudicial.—Rogers v. Beckrich (Sup.) 725. A complaint for breach of warranty, failing to state whether the warranty was express or implied, is supported by proof of either.—Rogers v. Beckrich (Sup.) 725. Evidence of the market value of goods befor and after the breach of contract is not admissibl to fix damages in an action for failure to de liver goods contracted for.—Freedman v. Dobso* (City Ct. N. Y.) 1115. 8. Conditional sales. Seller held not to waive his right to reclai goods under conditional sale by an unsuccessfu attempt to collect notes given therefor by sui —American Box Mach. Co. v.

City of Utica (Sup.) 31. Where the consent of highway commissioners is necessary to lay tracks on highways, a condition requiring transfer of passengers for a given fare within its own territory is not void, as conflicting with the right in other towns to prescribe conditions for the construction of the road within their limits.—Gaedeke v. Staten Island M. R. Co. (Sup.) 290. Where a street railroad’s franchise, was forfeited if the road was not constructed within a specified time, further construction would be enjoined, pending action to permanently enjoin, on nonperformance of such condition.—Dusenberry v.

Levy and assessment. Where no more is disclosed on review of an assessment on certiorari than relator’s mere claim of inequality and overvaluation in the appraisement, sworn by the assessor to be fair, and the facts on which the claim is based do not appear, the assessment will not be disturbed.—People v. Feitner (Sup.) 432. Where a taxpayer applies to correct an assessment under Greater New York Charter, § 895, his complaint must state the facts constituting inequality charged; for the court, on certiorari, is not required to enter on a new and original inquiry, under Laws 1896, c. 908, § 253.—People v. Feitner (Sup.) 432. The expression, “until the third Tuesday of August,” in Tax Law, § 35, held not to include the third Tuesday in August.—People v. Horn-beck (Sup.) 978. § 2. Payment and refunding or recova cry of tax paid. Where plaintiff resided and voluntarily paid the taxes for several years on premises he -alleged belonged to his mother, knowing that such taxes were improperly assessed, he cannot, under Laws 1892, c. 686, § 16, recover back the taxes so paid.—McCue v.

Wheeler (Sup.) 983. 4. Tax titles. When plaintiff’s lands were to be sold for tax-s, but were knocked down to the state without ale, a deed based on such proceeding is not alidated by the act to quiet tax titles after two ears.—Andrus v. Wheeler (Sup.) 9S3. When the owner of part of a tract of land pays e exact proportion of a tax laid on the whole act which her acreage bears to the whole reage, a sale of her portion for the remaining xes is without jurisdiction and absolutely void. Wallace v. Curtis (Sup.) 994. Evidence held to show that a certain portion a tract of land upon which the taxes had been paid did not pass by a sale of the remainder for its portion of the tax laid on the whole tract.— Wallace v. Curtis (Sup.) 994. § 5. Legacy, inheritance, and transfer taxes. Failure to tax a bequest, under mistaken theory that it was not subject to transfer tax, held not an “erroneous determination,” within Laws 1896, c. 908, § 232, permitting a reappraisement in such cases.—In re Niven (Sup.) 956. Surrogate’s order, on report of appraiser under transfer tax act, held conclusive as to allowance for debts and expenses of administration. —In re Rice’s Estate (Sur.) 911.

Proc. §§ 1667, 1668. refusal to submit to jury issue as to whether cutting was casual or involuntary held not erroneous.—Van Siclen v. Jamaica Electric Light Co. (Sup.) 210. Where defendant had an undivided half interest in cattle on plaintiff’s farm, on entering and taking one-half of the cattle by force, an instruction that the minimum amount of damages for the trespass was the value of the cattle taken was error.—Eelts v. Collins (Sup.) 482. A defense to trespass, that complainant granted permission to enter the premises, then refused admission, and defendant entered despite the refusal, held demurrable.—Silberman v. New Amsterdam Gas Co. (Sup.) 699. A defense insufficient in bar is not sustainable as a partial defense, where it is not pleaded as a partial defense.—Silberman v. New Amsterdam Gas Co. (Sup.) 699.

Under Code Civ. Proc. § 793, right to preference of a cause held lost by failure to serve notice of application with notice of trial.—Eckhard v. Jones (Sup.) 257. Under Code Civ. Proc. § 793, notice of preference may he served after notice of trial, if within time in which notice of trial can be given.—Gilbert v. Pinch (Sup.) 300. The right of preference upon the calendar given by Code, § 791, subd. 5, to executors, when they are the sole plaintiffs or sole defendants, does not extend to a case where the same person is joined as a party in his individual capacity, as well as in the prescribed capacity.—Ahern v. Ahern (Sup.) 931. The fact that there is no opposition to a motion to place a case on the preferred calendar is not sufficient reason for granting the preference, unless some right or reason is shown therefor.— Ahern v. Ahern (Sup.) 931. _ Code Civ. Proc. § 793, requiring notice of a motion for preference to he served with the notice of trial, does not apply to motions for preference, under special term rule 10, in actions to foreclose mortgages.—Germania Life Ins.

Reception of evidence. A motion to strike a witness’ answer, because it was incompetent, held properly denied.—Jones v. New York Cent. & H. R. R. Co. (Sup.) 721. That a witness’ answer is not responsive is an objection that lies only with the examining counsel.—Jones v. New York Cent. & H. R. R. Co. (Sup.) 721. 4. Taking case or question from jury. Where, at the close of the evidence, counsel or both parties request a verdict, the court can ass on any question of fact presented by the vidence. — Northam v. International Ins. Co. Sup.) 45.

Donovan up.) 542. 01 N.Y.S.—76 Evidence held to authorize direction of verdict for defendants, plaintiffs having waived right to-go to jury.—Ranken v. Donovan (Sup.) 542. Error cannot be predicated on the refusal of the trial court to grant a nonsuit, where there was evidence tending to establish plaintiff’s cause of action—Niland v. Geer (Sup.) 696. Though the evidence in the first trial of an action for injuries tended to show plaintiff’s- eon-tributary negligence, yet, she having testified to diligence on the second trial, it was error for the court to dismiss the complaint.—Hickman v. Nassau Electric R. Co. (Sup.) 698. The trial court is not bound, by Code Civ. Proc. § 1187, to receive the general verdict where, after a motion to direct a verdict has been made, and special fact questions submitted to the jury, they report that they cannot agree upon the questions, but have reached a¡ general verdict.—McDonald v. Metropolitan St-Ry. Co. (Sup.) 817. If, on the evidence, a verdict in favor of the' person against whom judgment has been rendered could not be sustained, a verdict against .him may properly be directed.—McDonald v~ Metropolitan St. Ry. Co. (Sup.) 817. Where both parties, at close of case, moved for direction of verdict, the court, if the evidence-so warrants, can direct judgment for defendant.—Schreyer v. Jordan (Sup.) 889. A motion for nonsuit on the ground that proof fails to sustain the complaint must specify omissions relied on.—Boldt v. Epstein (City Ct. NY.) 248.

White (Sup.) 515. § 2. Actions. Whether charge of complaint is fraudulent conversion of money of plaintiff’s intestate, and the proof shows that defendant drew the_ money from the banks at the request of plaintiff’s intestate, there can be no recovery on the ground that defendant did not exercise reasonable care in turning the same over to her.—ICirwin v. Malone (Sup.) 844. Where a complaint charges fraudulent conversion of money, defendant cannot be held liable, on the ground that he was negligent in turning the money over to plaintiff’s intestate while she was insane.—ICirwin v.

Deposit of money in bank in name of another, with provision that depositor may withdraw, without knowledge of former, held to create trust for benefit of person in whose name deposit was made.—Martin v.

Surcharging of the accounts of a trustee with the cost of repairs in excess of the cost of similar repairs by other persons held error.—Disbrow v. Disbrow (Sup.) 614. Evidence held sufficient to show that a trustee should be credited by the cost of repairs made by him, without detailed evidence of the nature of the repairs.—Disbrow v. Disbrow (Sup.) 614. That a cestui que trust objected to repairs held not to entitle him to have the trustee’s account surcharged with the amount paid therefor.—Dis-brow v. Disbrow (Sup.) 614. Surcharging of the accounts of a trustee with penalties incurred by failure to pay taxes promptly held error, where the cestui que trust had used the funds available for prompt payment.—Dis-brow v.

A son, admitting the validity of his father’s will as to his mother’s life estate, and not interested in a trust created therein, held not entitled, as heir at law, to sue in equity to have the will construed, and the trust declared void, and an intestacy after the death of his mother adjudged.—Kalish v. Kalish (Sup.) 448. A son cannot maintain an action in equity to have his father’s will construed, and a trust therein created declared invalid, where he has no present interest, either as next of kin or as legatee.—Kalish v. Kalish (Sup.) 448. Code Civ. Proc. § 1866, held not to authorize a son to maintain, as heir at law, an action in equity to have his father’s will construed, and a trust therein created declared void.—Kalish v. Kalish (Sup.) 448. Provisions of a will construed, and held to provide that surviving sisters of deceased legatee should take her share, independent of children of other brothers and sisters previously deceased. —In re McCahill (Sur.) 1071. '§ 5. Rights and liabilities of devisees and legatees. A legacy, failing to vest in the legatee because of her death, held to pass to the legatee’s issue, under 2 Rev. St. p. 66, § 52.—In re Hafner (Sup.) 565. WITNESSES. See “Evidence.” Code Civ. Proc. § 835, prohibiting the disclosure of confidential communications between attorney and client, does not prevent an attorney from testifying to conversations and advice given to a person not his client.—Kitz v. Buckmaster (Sup.) 64. Defendant, in an action for wrongfully causing decedent’s death, held prohibited from testifying concerning the transaction, including conversations with deceased at the time, by Code Civ. Proc. § 829.—Abeiein v. Porter (Sup.) 144. Refusal to permit defendant to testify when he had discovered that a deceased holder of a mortgage had failed to indorse a payment was proper, as calling for evidence concerning a transaction with a deceased person. — Rowley v. Parsons (Sup.) 392. Under Code, § 836, providing for a waiver of the privileges of a professional witness, a waiver by plaintiff was sufficient where the action was for injuries to his minor son.—Corey v. Bolton (City Ct. N. Y.) 917. § 2. Examination. The form of a question on the cross-examinatian of a witness in an action for personal injuries held, not erroneous.—Barrett v. New York Cent. & H. R. R. Co. (Sup.) 9. A question, on cross-examination, as to the witness’ pecuniary interest in the action, is admissible.—Sissinch v. Bernhardt (Sup.) 107.

Young (Sup.) 894. WRITS. Particular writs, see “Execution”; “Mandamus.” § 1. Competency. Whether relation of attorney and client exists, so as to prevent the attorney from testifying to conversations, is a question for the court.— ICitz.v. Buckmaster (Sup.) 64. YEAR.
