101 N.Y.S. 529 | N.Y. App. Term. | 1906
Action upon the statutory bond of an auctioneer, which bond was in full force in December, 1904, at which time George E. Shaw and George Plummer were engaged in a copartnership for the purpose of selling goods at auction. Plaintiff’s silverware was sold at their sales, at one of which she was present, and about the sum of $200 was realized from the sale of her' property. This money has not been paid over, and action is brought against the surety to recover upon the bond for the alleged breach of the principal’s contract. At the close of plaintiff’s ease, upon motion, judgment for defendant was granted, which ruling was duly excepted to and the correctness of that ruling is challenged upon this appeal. No reasons were given for the court’s decision, but we think we are justified in assuming
Gildersleeve and Davis, JJ., concur.
Judgment reversed and new trial ordered, with costs to appellant to abide event.
