61 N.Y.S. 111 | N.Y. App. Div. | 1899
The complaint alleges that the defendant is a domestic corporation organized under the laws of the State of New York. It does not show where the principal' business office of the corporation is located or where its general business is carried on. Hence the residence of the corporation, in a legal sense, cannot be determined by reference to the complaint; nor does any other part of the record before us throw any light on that subject. The defendant appeared and answered, but the attorneys subsequently entered into a stipulation “ that the defendant’s appearance and answer be withdrawn, and the position of the parties be as if no appearance had been made and no answer filed.” The Municipal Court thereupon proceeded' to render judgment in favor of the plaintiff as upon the defendant’s default, and the defendant now attacks that judgment on the ground ■ that the court was without jurisdiction because there was nothing -before it to show that the defendant resided in Kings county.'
The judgment appealed from should be affirmed, with costs.
All concurred.
Judgment of the Municipal Court affirmed, with costs.
