New York Court of Appeals

Winchell v. Hicks

March 5, 185918 N.Y. 558

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the judgment for the plaintiff, holding that the sureties' express acknowledgment of the debt and their request that the principal pay the interest revived their liability and barred the statute of limitations, and that the trial court correctly denied the nonsuit and directed a verdict without a jury trial.
