RIGnT or A MAN TO CHANGE Hrs NAHC.--In
The Court Of Common Pleas Of New York ely, Dc
fore Judge DAILY, JoHS SSoJK. an emigraUt from
Germany Hollmd, 10 the Court applied to have
his name ehaagei.
1t seems thst the name cf Shook, in lis original
language, signifies Pike, aud that when the bearer
Of the name cane to this country, some years since
thinking he English equivalent more eupboni0us
than the TeUtJnlc patroDy mic, be embarked in bu-
siness here nnder the appellation Of Pike. But In
process Of time doub were cast upon the legality
Of this translation, and TO set every thing rgb Sir
SncOk came before the court on petition Tor au-
thority to denominate himself by the name Of his
choice. The court decided that under the New York
statute Of 1917, (which coufers power upon a Jadpe
to authorize person Of full age TO assume another
name ia cases where the udicially sati fed
that the applicant will derive pecuniafy ben5f.
tberefOrm, there not sufficient evidence to au-
thOrize the order to charge the applicants name,
but the court decided generally as follows:
After minute examination into the or gin Of the
&c that now prevails in respect TO names, ths
Judge the conclusion that there is nothing
ia the law TO prevent the petitioner from continuing
to call himself John Pike IT, as stated 10 his petit
ton, he adopted it years ago, engaged In bust
ness BY that name, and is knosn among his bns-
ness aequaintanees and customers by that designa-
ton, there is no reason why he shall not continue
to use it. Any contract obligation he msy enter
into, or which others may enter into with him. by
thai name or any grant OF devise he may hereafter
make by it, would he valid ard binding; for, as an
acquired and known design alton, it has become
etfec ually his name the one which be previously
bore. have no hesi alien therefore in saying that
think he may lawfully it hereafter IN all trans-
actions as his name designation.
According t. This judgm, nj, there is no law to pre-
vent any man from changing his name as he may
desire; and the usual application to the legislature
or the courts is only matter of convenience on
count of the greater publicity and influence thus
given to the proposed change.
