The Superior Court of New York City March 15, 1872 (McNamara v. Eisenleff)

By the Court.—Sheldon, J.

Upon the return, there is no room for question as to the nature of the action, and what should have been the precise form of the judgment, in whose favor soever the justice might have determined the controversy. The action was instituted to recover the possession of specific personal property claimed, or its value if not reached by the officer, and damages for detention.
