New York Court of Appeals

George Rinchey v. . Burdett Stryker.

September 5, 186328 N.Y. 45

Summary

The Court of Appeals held that attachments issued under Code §229 give the attaching creditor a specific lien and authorize the sheriff to seize the debtor's property disposed of with intent to defraud, and that evidence of later‑recovered judgments is admissible to prove the underlying debt. Accordingly, the trial court's exclusion of that evidence was erroneous, the judgment was reversed, and a new trial was ordered.
