““If this motion were in the nature oí an appeal, or even of a motion for rehearing or reargument, as the plaintiff contends, it must have been denied. But it cannot be so considered. At tbe time the cause was removed, a motion for a modification of the order had been entertained: by the general term, and was then pending and unheard. Tliat application must be disposed of by this court It is brought before it by means of this motion, and in disposing of it this court must necessarily act as the general term, and may and should make any proper order consistent with the prior general term decision, which, upon that motion, it was competent for the general term to make.””
