¶1Under the provisions of the Revised Statutes, any justice of the supreme court, or any circuit judge *131inight grant an order for a commission. By the judiciary act of 1847, the same power ivas conferred upon the justices of the present supreme court, and also upon county judges. (See 2 R. S. 393, § 12—Sess. Laws, 1847, p. 640, § 15.)
¶2It is insisted that these statutes are still in force, and that any justice may now grant an order for a commission, without regard to the place of trial. In this, however, I think the defendant’s counsel is mistaken. He applies for an order that a commission issue. Such an application is a motion: and the Code declares that motions, when made upon notice, shall be made within the district in which the action is triable, or in a county adjoining that in which it is triable, {See Code, §§ 400, 401.)
¶3By the 468th section of the Code, all statutory provisions inconsistent with that act are repealed. The provisions of the •Revised Statutes and the judiciary act, so far as they relate to the place where a motion for a commission may be made, are inconsistent with the 401st section of the Code. The former authorize the motion to be made anywhere in the state. The latter only authorizes it to be made within the district, or in a -county adjoining the place of trial. The latter provision clearly must prevail.
¶4This motion cannot be granted. It is not made within the district in which the action is triable, or in the county adjoining that in which it is triable. (See Dodge agt. Rose, 1 Code Rep. 123.)
