| N.Y. App. Term. | May 16, 1907
This action is brought to recover damages for the breach of a contract under which the defendants purchased goods of the plaintiff’s assignor. The answer of the defendants denied the allegations of the complaint.as to the damages which the plaintiff claims to have sustained on account of the alleged breach by the defendants, and pleaded that there was no memorandum for writing sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the statute of frauds. After a conversation with the defendant, the plaintiff’s assignor mailed to the defendant an order, of which the following is a copy:
24. • December 14th, 1905.
The Triangle Waist Company, 729 Broadway, N. Y.
Deliver March 1st to 10th, 7% 10 days:
72,823 1,000 yds. Panel Nett, per yard 1.15
72,578/502 2,000 yds. Panel Nett, per yard .50
This order was received by the defendant, who sent the plaintiff’s assignor the following letter:
“Mr. Max Abrist, New York City—Dear Sir: In reference to confirmation of order No. 24, please cancel lot number 72,578/502, 2,000 yds., at $0.50, as the delivery of this merchandise will be too late for us to accept same.
“Yours very truly, Triangle Waist Company.”
The plaintiff claims that by this letter the defendant confirmed the first part of the order, to wit, the order for 1,000 yards of No. 72,823, at $1.15 per yard, and contends that the mailing of the order No. 24, and its confirmation by this, lettér of December 15, 1905, constitutes a sufficient note or memorandum of a contract to satisfy the statute of frauds. The trial justice awarded judgment for the plaintiff, and from that judgment the defendants appeal to this court.
Judgment affirmed, with costs. All concur.
