      Samuel W Judson, for app’lts; A. H. Daily, for resp’t.
   Dykman, J.

This is an action for the foreclosure of a mortgage, and upon the trial the plaintiff had judgment. The defendants appealed from the judgment and made and served a proposed case. Before the case was settled the defendants moved upon affidavits which are now printed amongsthe papers submitted to us for a new trial without disclosing any grounds for the motion.

The motion was denied and the defendants have appealed from the order of denial.

The affidavits make no case for a new trial and the practice was irregular.

The order should- be affirmed, with ten dollars costs and disbursements.

Barnard, P. J., concurs.
