Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York June 15, 1899 (Simpson v. Simpson)

Hatch, J.:

The claim of the defendant is, that he is entitled to a change of venue as matter of right, for the reason that the issue involves the determination of a question affecting title to real property, and, therefore, by virtue of the provisions of section 982 of the Code of Civil Procedure the action is local in character.
