New York Court of Appeals

George D. Cragin, Appellant v. William S. Lovell, as Executor

February 28, 188288 N.Y. 258

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals reversed the lower court's judgment, holding that the demurrer to the defendant's counter‑claim should have been sustained because the counter‑claim sought damages for waste on land situated in Louisiana, over which New York courts lack jurisdiction.
