T. Z., being duly sworn, says:

I. That he has been the attorney for the defendant Y. Z. in this action down to the time of his death [or otherwise show relation to the cause].

68 See note to Form 2108.

This and the following Form can readily be adapted to the case of an application by a surviving party to substitute the proper representative of a deceased party where personal service of notice of the application has been made within the State upon him. N. Y. Code Civ. Pro., § 1299. For the purpose of substitution on appeal, the judgment with the cause

of action survives even if the cause of action before the judgment could not. Blake v. Griswold, 104 N. Y. 613 (granting motion of personal representative of plaintiff respondent for leave to be substituted, where the plaintiff died pending appeal and before argument, and at the same time affirming the judgment); and see Moses v. Wooster, 115 U. S. 285.

Z., but that as to the matters in controversy between the plaintiff and the said defendant last named, the said Y.

That judgment [or, an order] was entered in this action 19 [describing it], and that on 19, the said Y. Z., by deponent his attorney appealed from the said judgment [or order] to the [Appellate Division] of this [or, the ] Court, and was the sole appellant therefrom, and that such appeal is now pending before the said [Appellate Division], and the same has not been heard.
