    Bail—Remitting Forfeited Recognizance.
    An application for remission of a forfeited recognizance cannot be granted unless the certificate of the district attorney filed in the cause shows that the expenses, if any, of the apprehension or recapture of the prisoner have been paid.
    Application by Jennie Cohen and Harris Samilson for remission of forfeited recognizance. Denied.

      Mr. Kantrowitz, for petitioner. De Laneey Nicoll, for the People.
   Bischoff, J.

Upon filing the district attorney’s certificate to the effect that the expenses incurred in the apprehension or recapture of the accused, and the costs and expenses incurred in the enforcement of the forfeiture, have been paid, or that there were no such costs or expenses, this application should be granted. The certificate annexed to the petition is deficient in the respect mentioned. People v. Lasher, (Com. Pl. N. Y.) 11 N. Y. Supp. 711. All concur.
