New York Supreme Court February 11, 1891 (In re Ockershausen)

Pratt, J.

The moving papers do not show a demand upon the executor for payment, which has been held to be necessary before a proceeding in contempt can be maintained. McComb v. Weaver, 11 Hun, 271. There is no allegation showing absence or concealment of the debtor, or any other reason why a demand would be impossible or difficult.
