upon that calendar. If the said defendants request any other disposition of the appeal, the stay of proceedings granted shall cease, unless differently ordered by the Appellate Division upon such application.

[Said stay of proceedings is, however, without prejudice to the right of the plaintiffs to file, maintain and prosecute such actions in equity for the enforcement and collection of their judgments, as they may be advised, and the pendency of such action shall not hereafter be urged by the defendants as barring or interfering with the right of the plaintiffs to continue the supplementary proceedings before said referee, or to institute other proceedings after the stay of proceedings has expired or has been vacated.]

The proceedings before said referee are hereby adjourned without day during the pendency of the aforesaid stay, but at the expiration thereof they may be continued before said referee, and the judgment-debtor is hereby directed to appear before him on a notice of two days to his attorneys.

[If time to answer in the pending action is too nearly at an end to permit usual notice of motion and decision, either procure ex parte order extending time to plead, or obtain order to show cause with a provision for a temporary stay, as in Form 229, incorporating a provision in the order to show cause for an exten sion of time to plead until the motion.]

2 Such a stay is usually granted, where the causes of action are substantially identical, and plaintiff has been non-suited or the former action has been dismissed upon his application. See Spaulding v. Am. Wood Board Co., 58 App. Div. 314, 68 N. Y. Supp. 945; Cook v. Chicago, etc., R. Co. (Iowa), 99 N. W. Rep. 735, Plumley v. Simpson, 31 Wash. 147, 71 Pac. Rep. 710.

Plaintiff's poverty, and the dismissal of his former action because of failure to obtain material evidence which is now procurable, may prevent the granting of the stay. Plumley v. Simpson, supra.

3 This motion should be made before issue joined, and the granting of a stay will not of itself extend time to plead. See paragraphs 2 and 3, supra, p. 413.

the moving attorney, they may be conveniently specified, and a general clause added, "and all other proceedings taken in violation of said stay."

1. Power to make.]-A stipulation is an agreement as to the conduct of the proceedings in a particular cause; and the power to make such agreement for conduct of a pending cause, rests solely with the attorney of record of the client who is to be bound, if he has an attorney of record;10 the client cannot make it," nor can counsel, unless with the sanction of the attorney, express or implied.12 A stipulation should be distinguished from an incidental admission or declaration of the attorney; he is not empowered to make admissions in conversations with third per

An attorney cannot bind his client by a general agreement with other attorneys not to try causes during a particular period, as during summer months. Robert v. Commercial Bank, 13 La. 528, 33 Am. Dec. 570. Here plaintiff disavowed the agreement, and employed another attorney (who had not signed the agreement) to try the case. Held, not error to deny defendant's motion for continuance, and give judgment for plaintiff.

10 Upon a dispute as to whether an attorney's authority had been revoked prior to making the stipulation, the court may relieve the party from it where no prejudice to the adverse party will result. Sperb v. Met. Elev.

R. Co., 10 N. Y. Supp. 865, aff'd, 123 N. Y. 659.

11 Mott v. Foster, 45 Cal. 72 (stipulation made by the plaintiff. Order denying motion for new trial affirmed). See paragraph 8, post. 12 Abb. Tr. Brief for Civ. Jury Cases (2d ed.), 40.

Nightingale v. Oregon Central Ry. Co., 2 Sawy. 338 (setting aside order of continuance based on a stipulation made by counsel resident in another State and not a member of the bar of the court). See also p. 119 of this volume. The stipulation of counsel having charge of the trial stand upon a different footing, and are enforced equally with the stipulations of the attorney of record. See Slavin v. Germain, 64 Hun, 506, 19 N. Y. Supp. 492.
