New York Court of Appeals

Secor and Others v. . Sturgis and Others.

March 5, 185816 N.Y. 548

Summary

The Court held that the carpenter's account and the chandlery account were separate causes of action, not a single entire claim, and therefore the prior judgment on the carpenter's lien did not bar the plaintiffs' claim on the chandlery lien. The bond issued to discharge the attachment affected only the carpenter's lien, leaving the chandlery lien intact, and the judgment of the lower court was affirmed.
