26 N.Y. St. Rep. 692 | New York City Court | 1889
The plaintiffs and the defendant in this action were, prior to April 24, 1880, with two other parties, owners, as tenants in common, of certain real property in this city, and on that day said plaintiffs conveyed to the defendant, by deed of bargain and sale, their interest in such real estate. This action was brought to cancel the deed so given, on the ground that it was 'obtained by false representations on the part of the defendant. Judgment was rendered at special term in favor of the plaintiffs, and from such judgment this appeal is taken by the defendant.
