Solomon Jonas, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. Simon Feist, Defendant and Appellant.
    
      (New York Superior Court, General Term,
    
    
      Filed April 15, 1889.)
    
    Appeal—Exceptions—Tblal by jüby—What bbyiewable by general term.
    On a trial by jury, the only subjects for exceptions reviewable by the general term, are rulings at the trial. ' But where there are no exceptions to any ruling of the court at the trial, but only to an order denying a new trial, which was a proceeding subsequent to the trial, such exception is not available for any purpose. The appeal being from the judgment only, the judgment must be affirmed.
    
      Howe & Hummel, for app’lt; Jacob Marks, for resp’t.
   Dugro, J.

This is an appeal from a judgment entered on the verdict of a jury.

Errors of law arising on exceptions taken at the trial are, therefore, alone before the court for consideration.

The only exception which appears in the case, is one to-an order denying a motion for a new trial. Such an exception is not, therefore, available for any purpose.

On trials by1 jury, the only subjects for exceptions are rulings at the trial.

The motion for a new trial is a proceeding subsequent to the trial, and an order made on such motion is reviewable only by appeal. Boos v. World Mutual Life Insurance Company, 64 N. Y., 236; Thurber v. The Harlem Bridge, Morrisania and Fordham Railroad Company, 60 id., 326.

The judgment must, therefore, be affirmed.

Truax, J., concurs.
