which last-named undertaking shall, if the sureties duly justify [before a justice of this court], stand in the place of the undertaking on appeal now on file in the office of the clerk of this court, and have the same force and effect as if filed on the same day when the notice of appeal was filed, and as if the sureties therein named had justified within the time prescribed by law.

19, an order [or, judgment] was entered in this action, at a [Special] Term of Court [describing it as thus: directing deponent to deliver to the plaintiff certain property alleged to be in deponent's custody or control].

53 Formerly an appeal to General Term could not be dismissed for failure to file new security, except in a case where security was essential to perfect the appeal. Genter r. Fields, 2 Abb. Ct. App. Dec. 253. And the present statute. § 1308, last clause, seems to bear the same construction.

54 As to costs, compare Dunseith r. Stark, 3 Monthly L. Bul. 42; White

56 If a case has been made on the appeal, move on that, in connection with the affidavit. Otis v. Spencer, S How. Pr. 171.

57 Such an order to show cause, in the Supreme Court, First District, may be made by a judge in any part fo the State. Hull v. Hart, 27 Hun, 21.

58 It seems that the Special Term may extend the time to redeem fixed by an Appellate Division decision, when staying proceedings on that decision pending an appeal to the Court of Appeals. Gray v. Green, 14 Hun, 18.

59 As to the inherent power of the court to order a stay, see Hudson v.

Smith, 9 Wisc. 122; and Polini v.
Gray, 41 L. T. (N. S.) 173.

This order may be made by the court in or from which the appeal is taken, or a judge thereof, upon such terms as to security or otherwise, as justice requires; except that execution upon a money judgment shall not be stayed more than thirty days without security. N. Y. Code Civ. Pro., 1351.
