New York Court of Appeals

Albany County Savings Bank, Respondent v. Thomas McCarty, Appellants

April 7, 1896149 N.Y. 71

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals reversed the judgment of the General Term, holding that the referee’s findings on the validity of the certificates of acknowledgment were not subject to appellate review, but that the trial court erred in excluding the testimony of Thomas McCarty, who was a competent witness. Accordingly, the case was remanded for a new trial.
