New York In the Matter of the Application of McLaughlin is a decision of the New York Supreme Court Appellate Division. The case was decided on June 21, 1898, and involved a dispute over the ownership of a certain parcel of land in the Town of Woodstock, New York. The dispute arose between the petitioner, L.D. McLaughlin, and the respondent, the Woodstock Land Company. McLaughlin claimed that he was the owner of the property, while the Woodstock Land Company argued that they had a valid deed of conveyance of the land. The court found in favor of McLaughlin, ruling that the deed of conveyance from the Woodstock Land Company was invalid and McLaughlin was the rightful owner of the land.
