Cowton v. Anderson, 1 How. Pr. 145

Cowton v. Anderson

1 How. Pr. 145 | N.Y. Sup. Ct. | 1845

Bronson, Chief Justice.

The fact that the note was given for money won at play, does not take it out of the general rule, that a party must *146put in his defence at the proper time of pleading, and not suffer a default to he taken against him. The defendant shows no excuse for not having availed himself of his defence by pleading. The motion must be denied with costs.

Rule accordingly.
