New York Court of Appeals
Sylvester S. Stoddard, Appellant v. Lewis E. Whiting, Respondent
December 12, 187146 N.Y. 627
Summary
The Court of Appeals reversed the General Term’s judgment, holding that the assignee of Abiel Stoddard is entitled to redeem the land despite the defendant’s possession, because the assignment of Stoddard’s equitable interest was valid without a seal and the referee’s legal conclusions were reviewable.
