44 N.Y.S. 307 | N.Y. App. Div. | 1897
The complaint in this case is sufficient to resist the demurrer. Its averments are that the plaintiff is an undertaker; that, as such, he buried the body of defendant’s brother, furnished a casket and other necessary materials, performed services and expended moneys in connection with the burial, all of which was necessary and reasonably worth the sum of $247.25; that thereafter letters of administration were issued upon the estate of the deceased to the defendant in the action; that she duly qualified as administratrix and received assets of the estate in excess of the sum of $800; averred demand for payment and refusal, and demanded judgment for the said amount, with interest.
It follows that the judgment should be affirmed, with costs, with leave to the defendant to answer within twenty days on payment of costs.
All concurred.
Judgment affirmed, with costs, with leave to the defendant to answer within twenty days on payment of costs.
