67 F. 16 | U.S. Circuit Court for the District of Eastern New York | 1895
This suit is brought to have set off against a judgment of this court, under a mandate from the supreme court of the United States in 1892, for $7,549.59, a judgment of the superior court of New York in 1869 for $126.86, and a judgment of the supreme court of New York in the case remanded from the supreme court of the United States, upon removal of it to this court, for costs, while pending there where it was brought, after petition for removal and before actual removal. The bill alleges residence without the state for three years since the judgment of the superior court, which the answer does not deny, and which seems, under the statute of the state, to avoid the presumptive bar of 20 years set up against that judgment. Code, N. Y. §401.
The suit was removed from the state court under the act of 1875 (18 Stat. 470), which provided that all injunctions, orders, and other proceedings had in such suit prior toits removal should remain
Decree for plaintiff for set-off of the superior coart judgment, without costs.
