Dickinson v. Dickey , 21 N.Y. Sup. Ct. 617 ( 1878 )


Menu:
  • Gilbert, J.:

    The sale by the referee, instead of the sheriff, was in accordance with the judgment. At most, it was a mere irregularity in practice. The parties to the suit might waive it, and that is the test between an irregularity and a nullity. (Clapp v. Graves, 26 N. Y., 418.) The court had jurisdiction of the parties and of the subject-matter. The judgment, therefore, was valid, even if it was erroneous in directing the sale to be made by a referee. We are of opinion, therefore, that the objection to the title is not a good one.

    Judgment accordingly, with costs to the plaintiff.

    Presents-Barnard, P. J., Gilbert and Dykman, JJ.

    Judgment for plaintiff upon submitted case.
