Wolfers v. Duffield
25 N.Y.S. 374
N.Y. Sup. Ct.1893Check TreatmentAs in the surplus proceedings all questions as to the fraudulent character of the conveyances can be tested, there seems to be no reason why these proceedings should be stayed until the revival and trial of an action commenced 16 years ago. The appellant in that action would have no right to a trial by jury if it is an action to set aside a conveyance as fraudulent. If the appellant’s action is for the recovery of damages for fraud and deceit, a recovery in the action would in no way establish any lien upon the surplus moneys in the proceeding. The order appealed from should be affirmed, with costs.
