Heaton v. Bartlett

13 Wend. 672 | N.Y. Sup. Ct. | 1835

Mr. Justice Nelson

said that such had been the practice, but the judges, upon consultation, had come to the conclusion to change it. Sham pleas and false pleas were stricken out on motion at special terms, and there was no reason why the same course should not be adopted in relation to f rivolous pleas. He therefore granted the motion, with costs.
