New York Court of Appeals
William M. Wilson, Respondents v. Ann Maria Deen, Appellant
November 12, 187874 N.Y. 531
Summary
The Court reversed the lower court's cancellation of a written lease, holding that the lease is binding and that prior oral promises to furnish furniture do not invalidate it. The written instrument merges all prior negotiations, and no fraud or mistake was shown to justify equitable reform.
