Taylor v. Wynne

8 N.Y.S. 759 | N.Y. Sup. Ct. | 1890

Pratt, J.

Only two years of the lease were yet to run. It was, therefore, not real estate, (Code, § 1430;) and the judgment docketed on March 26th was not a lien upon it. It follows that the assignment of the lease by defendant on April 4th carried a clear title to the assignee. The execution against defendant was not issued till May 25th. The lease was not at that time the property of the defendant in the execution, was not subject to the lien of the judgment, and the attempted sale upon the execution was ineffectual to vest any title in the vendee. All these facts appeared in the petition, which was properly dismissed. Order affirmed, with $10 costs and disbursements.
