New York Supreme Court June 15, 1876 (Gautier v. Douglass Manufacturing Co.)

Brady, J.

The plaintiffs declare, through their counsel, that their success in this action depends, first, upon the construction of the papers creating a trust mentioned in the pleadings, and that unless, under and by virtue of the construction given them, a lien results in their favor, this action cannot be maintained. The motion for a reference is therefore denied.
