60 N.Y.S. 436 | N.Y. App. Div. | 1899
The question was raised, upon "the argument in this case, as to whether it was properly before this court for review. Upon an appeal from the Municipal Court of the city of Hew York the pro.. visions of chapter-19, title 8 (§§ 3044-3061) of the Code of Civil Procedure apply. The record in such case consists of the notice of appeal and the -return of the justice thereto. The appeal lies to the Appellate Division in this department -by virtue of a designation made by such court pursuant to the authority conferred by chapter 546 of the Laws of 1898, amending section 1367 of the Greater New York charter (Laws of 1897, chap. 378). The appeal is heard upon either printed or -written papers under the rules formulated.by the court governing the hearing of such appeals. These laws and rules
In tlie case before us there, xvas no attempt at compliance with this practice, but the appeal xvas attempted to be brought to a hearing under the rules applicable to appeals from the Municipal Court. There is, therefore; no record before ■ us such as the law contemplates shall be made ; consequently the case is not in condition for this court to review. The appeal, however, xvas proper; it is the record that is defective. Ho motion to dismiss the appeal for failure to make a case has been made, and as the practice is nexv, we conclude to decline to consider the question which "has been attempted to be presented, and remit the defendant to the preparation of a proper case, xvithont prejudice to her right so to do.
All concurred.
Case remitted for correction of record on appeal.
