Tbe -action was tried before a referee, wbo reported for tbe plaintiff; and a case was made with leave to turn tbe same into a bill of exceptions or special verdict. An appeal was taken
Írm tbe judgment entered on tbe report of tbe referee, and upon e case so made, to tbe general term of tbis court; and after the argument thereof, and before tbe court had given a decision thereon, and on tbe 23d of March, 1854, Raymond, one of tbe defendants, died. On tbe first of April following, tbe general term affirmed tbe judgment, and tbe judgment of affirmance was, by order of tbe court, entered as of a day during tbe lifetime of Raymond. On tbe 18th of June, 1855, on application of bis administrators, an order was made reviving tbe action in their names, for tbe purposes of an appeal to tbe Court of Appeals, and on tbe same day a proposed bill of exceptions was served, on their behalf, on tbe plaintiff’s attorney, containing exceptions in manuscript not appearing in tbe case as made and settled, and to which tbe plaintiff proposed an amendment striking out such manuscript exceptions, and wbicb amendment was allowed. Tbe defendants then moved for an order for tbe resettlement of tbe exceptions proposed, and of tbe amendments thereto proposed, and for an order that tbe amendment proposed to tbe bill of exceptions be disallowed, and tbe exceptions proposed be allowed. The order of tbe 5th of December above mentioned denied such motion.

This view renders the consideration of the preliminary objections unnecessary.
Order appealed from affirmed.
