Scott v. Thorpe
1 Edw. Ch. 512 | New York Court of Chancery | 1833
There aré no'circumstances in this case to show unfairness in' making the contract: the defendants were Englishmen just arrived in this country and voluntarily entered into an agreement with the complainants.
The defendants have suggested their being aliens. This point the court' cannot look to while it comes from them. They could have obviated- this difficulty themselves: by making the necessary deposition-or affirmation and having it filed and recorded by the secretary of state: 1 R. S. 720, § 15. There is nothing to prevent a decree for specific performance
Order accordingly.
