62 As prescribed, in part, by Brady r. Powers, 105 App. Div. 476, 94 N. Y. Supp. 259.

This order of presentation is substantially followed on appeal from a judgment entered on the decision of the court or referee. The exceptions to the decision, however, may not form a part of the judgment-roll as filed; if not, the exceptions are printed immediately after the judg ment. On such an appeal, too, there will be no order denying motion for new trial.

63 Court Rule No. 43. The index of exhibits must concisely indicate the contents or nature of each. See Foster v. Bookwalter, 78 Hun, 352, 29 N. Y. Supp. 116; Reid v. Mayor, 21 N. Y. Supp. 719, 50 St. Rep. 758. 64 See Form No. 1662.

65 See Forms under Chapter XV, post, APPEALS.

66 The full title as appears in each separate paper and full form of verification are required in the first de

partment. In the second department, see Sickles v. Kling, 32 Misc. 165, 65 N. Y. Supp. 513, 7 Anno. Cas. 492. 67 Form No. 1645. 68 Form No. 1662. 63 Form No. 1667. 70 Form No. 1668. 71 Form No. 1669. 72 Form No. 1671. 73 Form No. 1670.

74 If either party feels aggrieved at the way in which the case has been settled by the trial justice, the usual method is to move for a re-settlement

upon affidavits. An appeal lies from the order made upon this motion. Zimmer v. Met. St. Ry. Co., 28 App. Div. 504, 51 N. Y. Supp. 504, 5 Anno. Cas. 283; N. Y. Rubber Co. v. Rothery, 112 N. Y. 592.

The motion must, of course, be heard and decided by the justice who presided at the trial. The practice in New York county will be to move at Special Term, Part I, and have the motion referred to the presiding justice. Henry v. Interurban St. Ry. Co., 115 App. Div. 352. If tried before a
