City of New York Municipal Court · decided 1894-11-15

<p>Where an order setting aside a verdict and granting a new trial expresses the decision as rendered, a refusal of a motion for resettlement is proper. If there was an error in granting the order or in failing to impose proper terms, it can he reviewed on appeal from the original order.</p>

Decided 1894-11-15

Ehblich, Ch. J.

¶1The jury at the trial having rendered a verdict in favor of the plaintiffs for six cents damages, the trial judge, upon his minutes, set the same aside as inadequate.

¶2The defendant moved to resettle the order so that the new trial granted should be on the condition that the plaintiffs pay to the defendant the costs of the trial which resulted in the verdict.

¶3The trial judge refused to resettle the order, and the defendant appeals.

¶4We think the trial judge was under no obligation to resettle the order as requested.

¶5The order as originally made expressed the decision as he rendered it, so that resettlement was unnecessary.

¶6If any error was committed in granting the original order or in failing to impose proper terms thereon, it might have *230been reviewed on appeal from the original order without the necessity of appealing from the order declining to resettle.

¶7For this reason the order appealed from must be affirmed, with costs.

¶8Van Wyok and MoCabthy, JJ., concur.

¶9Order affirmed, with costs.
