Addison Brill, Appellants v. Jerome Tuttle, Respondent

Summary

The Court of Appeals held that the order of August 31, 1876, directing payment and charging to a specified account was an equitable assignment of the designated fund, obligating the drawee to apply that fund to payment. Accordingly, the defendant's voluntary payment after notice was wrongful, and the appellate court reversed the General Term's order and affirmed the judgment for the plaintiffs.
