Description

AI: "In which the Court reversed the General Term decision printed at 6 Hun 543 and granted a new trial on the ground that Johnson’s own testimony about paying $30/acre was inadmissible under the Code’s dead-man rule.

In other words, this is the official published decision showing Albany’s first reversal of the Fourth Department’s affirmance—remanding the case for retrial because of the improper hearsay question."
