3 Denio 72 | N.Y. Sup. Ct. | 1846
On receiving the verdict of a jury, it is the duty of the justice forthwith to render judgment, and enter the same in his docket. But when there is no jury, and the justice is himself to decide, he has four days after the case has been submitted, to render his judgment. (2 R. S. 247 § 124.) In the latter case, we have held that the justice must decide within the four days, or his power to render judgment will be at an end. (Watson v. Davis, 19 Wend. 371. And see Young v. Rummell, 5 Hill, 60.) This case falls substantially within the same principle. Except as to the time with in which the
Judgments reversed.
