New York Court of Appeals

Van Leuven v. . Lyke and Dumond.

November 5, 18481 N.Y. 515

Summary

The Court affirmed the judgment, holding that the plaintiff could not recover because his declaration failed to allege that the defendants' swine broke and entered his close and committed the mischief there; without such allegation, liability for domestic animals requires proof of notice of vicious propensity.
