New York Supreme Court May 1, 1849 (Van Eps v. Dillaye)

By the Court, Allen, J.

The defendants, Hayden and Williams, were either not served with process, and in that case are not bound, or in any way affected, by the verdict and judgment, unless they claim to own property jointly with Dillaye, or else, having been served with process, they have failed to appear, and suffered default, and thereby admitted the right of the plaintiff to recover.
