Charles H. Barson, Respondents v. Agnes K. M. Mulligan, Appellants

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals reversed the lower court, holding that Agnes Mulligan was not a mortgagee in possession when the ejectment action was filed, that the trial court erred in excluding evidence of a conversation with a co‑tenant, and that the plaintiffs were not entitled to double damages under the Beal Property Law because the complaint lacked the required allegation of willful holding.
