New York Court of Appeals

David A. Knapp, Appellant v. J. Romaine Brown Impleaded With Anna M. Jackson, Respondent

March 21, 187145 N.Y. 207

Summary

The Court affirmed the lower court's judgment, holding that the appellant's issuance of an execution and collection of the judgment after filing an appeal waived his right to prosecute that appeal, and that the complaint against Mrs. Jackson was properly dismissed because she did not employ the plaintiff and therefore was not liable under the mechanics lien statute.
