2 Silv. Ct. App. 152

Beeman v. Banta

New York Court of Appeals

Decided March 12, 1889

New York Court of Appeals · decided 1889-03-12

Motion to compel the defendant to file a new undertaking with sufficient sureties as required by law, on the ground that one of the sureties to the original undertaking had become insolvent, or in case of failure the appeal be dismissed. The appellant asked that, in case the court decided to require a new undertaking, it be simply for costs.

Decided 1889-03-12

Per Curiam.

¶1We refuse the request of the defendant to be allowed to file an undertaking for costs only, because by virtue of his original undertaking the plaintiff has been stayed from enforcing his judgment ever since the appeal to this court was taken.

¶2The appellant ought not to have the benefit of such stay up to the present time, and then by the filing of an undertaking for costs only, retain his appeal and leave the plaintiff in a possibly much worse condition towards obtaining the fruits of his judgment than he would have been in had the right of enforcement continued from the time of its entry.

¶3All concur.
