11 N.Y.S. 718 | New York Court of Common Pleas | 1890

Allen, J.

Prior to the enactment of the statute which is embodied in section 2286 of the Code, there was no authority under the statutes of the state to release a person imprisoned fora contempt in proceedings supplementary to execution. Van Wezel v. Van Wezel, 3 Paige, 38. Such persons may now be relieved, under section 2286, and the defendant should make his application under t'hat section. The present motion must be denied, without costs.
