New York Court of Appeals

William H. Parsons, Respondents v. James Sutton, Appellants

April 25, 187666 N.Y. 92

Summary

The Court affirmed the judgment for the plaintiffs, holding that the amendment to the complaint was proper, the defendants could assert a counter‑claim arising from a pre‑existing contract, and that the defendants were not entitled to special damages because the market for the paper was not shown to be unavailable and such damages were not properly pleaded.
