In re Fowler

2 Barb. Ch. 305 | New York Court of Chancery | 1847

The Chancellor

said the court had no jurisdiction to issue a commission, unless the alleged lunatic resided here, or was the owner of property in this state. And that in case of his non-residence, the fact of his owning property here must be stated in the petition. It was not sufficient to set it forth in the affidavits.

Application denied.
