HARDING, Respondent, v. JENKINS et al., Appellants.
(City Court of New York, General Term.
December 7, 1898.)

Headnote

Actions by Edward Harding against Thomas J. Jenkins and another.
N. Thompson, for appellants.
Roger Foster, for respondent.

The causes of action in the four suits and the defenses therein are identical, and the proofs were almost identical. All four suits are brought on four promissory notes respectively given in the same transaction. It is true, on the trial of actions Nos. 2, 3, and 4 some additional proofs were submitted, viz, the written satisfaction piece of said trust mortgage, executed by William Kerby and other creditors; and Kerby himself was called as a witness by defendants, and his testimony taken, but not a single new material fact was developed, which actuates a change in the determination arrived at in action No. 1. 54 N. Y. Supp. 1090 . Said judgments and order denying motion for a new trial are affirmed, with costs, pursuant to stipulation. All concur.
