New York Court of Appeals

William L. Boyd v. John De La Montagnie, Appellant

May 21, 187873 N.Y. 498

Summary

The Court of Appeals affirmed the lower court's judgment, holding that it could not review the trial court's factual findings and that a gratuitous transfer from wife to husband induced by the husband's false statements is voidable in equity, allowing the wife to recover the property despite her intent to convey it by will.
