Irving v. Garrity , 13 Abb. N. Cas. 182 ( 1883 )

Barnard, J.

The Code is broad enough to permit an infant to sue informa pauperis in courts. It provides for any poor person. The spirit of the law would necessarily include minors ; for why leave them out ? The object was to enable all conditions to obtain justice. Infants are generally favored in this regard. The guardian ad litem is himself poor and unable to pay costs. The case seems to be one where the order should be granted.
