1 Johns. Cas. 396

Stansbury v. Durell

New York Supreme Court

Decided April 15, 1800

New York Supreme Court · decided 1800-04-15

The defendant, at the last October term, obtained a rule to stay the proceedings on the bail bond, no person appearing to oppose the motion. At the last January term, application was made to vacate the rule of the preceding term, on the ground of a want of notice; and because one of the plaintiffs was not truly named in the bail-piece, which had been filed in the original cause, and the,bail had not justified.

Relies on Southerland v. Sheffield

Decided 1800-04-15

Per Curiam.

¶1As all the proceedings had been stayed at the last term, upon certain conditions, those conditions should have been first complied with, before the defendant could be *472entitled to the benefit of the rule ; and it was certainly irregular to apply to a judge, at his chambers, for- any further order. It was the duty of the defendant to have sought the plaintiff, and tendered the costs. But as there appears to have been some misapprehension of the rule at the last term, proceedings shall now be stayed on the same -conditions as at the last term, and on payment of all subsequent costs.(a)

¶2Rule granted accordingly.
