Jeremiah P. Robinson et al., Ex'rs, Resp'ts, v. William H. Beard et al., Ex'rs, App'lts.

Headnote

Appeal from judgment in favor of plaintiffs.
Edward Hinman, for app’lts; Win. G. Choate, for resp’ts.

This is an action to compel the defendants, as executors of William Beard, deceased, to perform specifically certain covenants contained in a lease made by their testator to Jeremiah P. Robinson et al.

The action has been tried before a judge at special term and the facts found in favor of the plaintiff, and a judgment directed in his favor.

The defendants have appealed from the judgment, and while they find no fault with the findings of fact, they yet contend that the judgment is erroneous.

On the contrary, in our view, the case depends entirely upon the facts, and our examination satisfies us that the trial judge reached the correct legal conclusion upon the facts which he found, and that all his findings are fully justified by the evidence.

The case depends upon its own peculiar facts and a lengthy analyzation of the evidence will serve no beneficial purpose.

The judgment should be affirmed, with costs.

Barnard, P. J., concurs; Pratt, J., not sitting.
