DEPARTMENT OF BUILDINGS OF CITY OF NEW YORK v. FIELD.
(Supreme Court, Appellate Division, First Department.
October 23, 1896.)

Headnote

Action by the Department of Buildings of the City of New York against Richard Field.
John V. Dahlgren, for plaintiff.
George Hill, for defendant.

In the condition of the agreed state of facts as it is presented to us, this matter cannot be considered. • It is specifically stated that Mr. Elbridge T. Gerry is the present owner of the premises mentioned in the submission. All that is stated with reference to the defendant, Field, is that he became the owner of the property in its existing condition; but that does not show that he is the owner of the property, and that the proceeding is taken against the owner. As we are not authorized to draw any inferences, or to import anything into the submission, we cannot act on these papers, but the matter may be resubmitted on a proper statement. All concur.
