RULE 11.

If either party appeal from an order of a Justice, granting or refusing a new trial on such case, the appeal may be brought on before the general terms, on the usual notice. If the order refuse a new trial, and there be alleged errors of law contained in the case on which the motion was made, the appeal from the judgment in respect to such errors of law must be brought on and argued at the same time with the appeal from the order refusing a new trial, at the special term.

But where an appeal from such order is heard at the same time with an appeal from the judgment in the cause, the court may, in its discretion, give costs on the former appeal, as if it were a motion at special term.

RULE 13.

The party who moves for a re-hearing, or review of a cause or matter decided by a referee or referees, shall procure and furnish to the court a special report of the referee or referees, setting forth distinctly the facts found on the reference, and his or their decision upon the points of law arising in the cause.

RULE 14.

The foregoing rules shall take effect immediately, and all existing rules inconsistent with the same are hereby repealed.
