13 N.Y.S. 924 | New York Court of Common Pleas | 1891
The third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh conclusions of law, as set forth in the referee’s report, in concise and unmistakable terms settle the form and amount of the several judgments to be entered in favor of the plaintiff, and the defendants other than the mayor, etc., of Hew York; and this is a sufficient compliance with the requirement of section 1022 of the Code of Civil Procedure that the report “must direct the judgment to be entered thereupon.” Hinds v. Kellogg, ante, 922, (N. Y. common pleas, general term, Hovember, 1890, the opinion in which is handed down herewith.) In this view of the main question presented upon this appeal, it is immaterial whether or not the defendants, the mayor, etc., of Hew York, have waived the objection to the report arising from the alleged omission of the referee to direct the judgment, by moving to compel the parties entitled thereto to enter judgment upon the report. Our conclusion that the report is sufficient to authorize the entry of judgment preserves the right to cause such entry to be made without regard to the alleged waiver. The order appealed from must be affirmed, with costs.
