Christian Blinn, Appellant v. Julia Schwarz, Respondents

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the judgment for the defendants, holding that a deed executed by a person who was actually insane but never adjudicated is voidable, not void, and may be ratified after recovery of reason; the plaintiff waived the right to have the issue of ratification submitted to the jury, and evidence of his separate action for accounting was admissible to show ratification.
