Field, C. J. delivered the opinion of the Court

¶1Baldwin, J. concurring.

¶2The motion to set aside the report of the Referee, and for a new trial, was denied, as no one appeared on behalf of the plaintiff in its support. This failure to prosecute was a virtual abandonment of the motion, and the order made thereon is not, in consequence, the subject of review on appeal. The precise point was decided in Mahoney v. Wilson et al., (ante).

¶3This disposition of the order leaves only the appeal from the final judgment, and upon this appeal there is no statement. The case, therefore, rests upon the judgment roll; and as this discloses no error, the judgment must be affirmed.

¶4So ordered.

¶5GREEN v. DOANE.

¶6The same point with reference to a motion for a new trial above is decided in this case.

¶7Field, C. J. delivered the opinion of the Court —Baldwin, Baldwin, J. and Cope, J. concurring.

¶8The appeal in this case is from the order refusing a new trial, and from the final judgment. The motion for the new trial was refused on the application of the plaintiff, no one appearing on behalf of the *304defendant in its support. The failure thus to prosecute was a virtual abandonment of the motion, and the order made thereon was not, upon the authority of Mahoney v. Wilson, decided at the January term, and of Frank v. Doane, decided at the present term, a subject of review in this Court. Upon the appeal from the final judgment there is no statement, and the case before us rests, therefore, upon the judgment roll, and as this discloses no error, an affirmance of the judgment must follow ; and such affirmance is ordered.
