<p>Appeal to Appellate Term — Orders appealable.</p> <p>After a justice of a District, or Municipal Court of the City of New York had opened the default of a defendant -upon terms, he made a subsequent order vacating his former order and, in effect, denying the motion on the ground that the terms upon which his former order • had been made had not been complied with. The defendant appealed to ¡the Appellate Term.</p> <p>Held, that the appeal must be dismissed, as the statute did not authorize such an appeal, but only one from an order ¡opening a default. .</p>

Decided 1898-05-15

Per Curiam.

¶1It appears that after making the order opening the defendants default upon conditions, the justice below made a subsequent order,, which is the One- appealed from, vacating his-former order and in effect denying the motion on the ground that the conditions upon which his former order had been made had not been complied with. . This motion is now made to dismiss the appeal on the ground that an appeal will not lie from such an order. We think the objection is well taken. Under chapter 748 of the Laws ,of 1896, an appeal lies only from an order opening ■ a default. The right to appeal to this court from the determinations of -the District Courts, now the Municipal Courts of the City of Hew York, rests upon statute; ¡and :as there is no statutory authority for such an appeal as has been taken here, this court has no jurisdiction to entertain it, and the motion to dismiss must, therefore, be, granted, with $10 costs.

¶2Present: Beekman,. P. J., G-ildebsleeve and Giegebioh, JJ.

¶3Motion granted; with $10 costs.
