KRAM v. ADLER

PER CURIAM.

Plaintiff issued a requisition in replevin which, with the summons and complaint in the appropriate action were served upon defendant by a marshal. The marshal's return shows, and the testimony demonstrates, that the chattels mentioned in the requisition had been leased to a third party.

Under those circumstances defendant could not have been guilty of contempt of court for having "wilfully disobeyed the writ of replevin * * * in that he failed to turn over [to the marshal] * * * the chattels therein described and enumerated."

Order reversed, with ten dollars costs, and motion denied, with ten dollars costs.

All concur; present, BIJUR, LEVY and CHURCHILL, JJ.
