Summary
Brown, the relator, sued Miller before a justice of Dutchess county, who rendered judgment for Brown, of about 30 dollars. Miller appealed; and a verdict passed in his favor of 250 dollars. A motion for a new trial made Brown was denied; and the proceedings stayed by order, for several terms, with a view to repeat the motion f°r a new trial. Finally, at the late October term of the C.

Opinion of the Court

Text extracted by OCR from a scanned original; check the original for exact wording.

Per Curiam.

We - have decided that such a bond is defective. (6 Cowen, 585.) The consequence is, that the O. P. had no jurisdiction ; and might dismiss or quash the appeal at any time. (Ibid. id. 592, 593.) The principle which sanctions a dismissal upon the trial, extends to every stage of the cause. The C. P. wanted jurisdiction, and had a right to dismiss the cause, therefore, without regard to what the parties may have done in it.

Motion denied.
