New York Court of Appeals November 22, 1910 (Paltey v. . Egan)

Hiscock, J.

As appears by the foregoing statement of facts, the appellants are seeking to recover- damages, because while they were the tenants in a building owned by the respondent, the latter caused the adjoining one also owned by him to be removed and an excavation to be made in such a manner that the former building collapsed and the tenants’ property was injured.
