New York Court of Appeals

George McKeage, Respondent v. the Hanover Fire Insurance Company, Appellant

April 20, 188081 N.Y. 38

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the judgment for the plaintiff, holding that the gas fixtures and mirrors were chattels, not realty, and therefore not covered by the mortgage or foreclosure sale; verbal representations did not alter their character, and the plaintiff's assignment was valid.
