Sol #1238 — Hatch v. Luckman: Tonawanda deed/lease over feast allocation

Finding #1238 recovers Hatch v. Luckman (joined with People ex rel. Hatch v. Carpenter), 155 App. Div. 765–786 (Fourth Department, March 5, 1913). Two linked Tonawanda proceedings: estate administrators recovered a stipulated $30.80 crop-conversion judgment under Thomas Skye’s March 4, 1907 deed to son-in-law William Hatch with same-day five-year lease-back; and a writ of prohibition stopped a Tonawanda Peacemakers title suit based on a contested October 29 Tenth Day Feast allocation that omitted daughter Phoebe.

Erie Surrogate actually issued letters (unlike Printup #1234 remand). Tonawanda Peacemakers lacked the individual-title grant given Allegany/Cattaraugus courts. Collection of $30.80 and parcel delivery are not shown.

Separations: Tonawanda ≠ Allegany/Cattaraugus Peacemakers powers; $30.80 crop conversion ≠ rental or cash recovery proved; feast allocation ≠ inspected allotment book; correctly cites Lehly at 55 Hun 83 (#1237) — different Cattaraugus family ≠ #1221 Lehley surrogate; Phoebe’s Cattaraugus-mother membership dicta “perhaps unnecessary” given the deed.
