City Court.
    
      Special Term
    
    October, 1886.
    HERNANDEZ by Guardian against BILLOTTE.
    Judgment for costs in action by an infant by guardian ad litem must be entered against the guardian.
   McAdam, Ch. J.

Where an infant brings suit by guardian ad litem and is defeated, the judgment for the defendant’s costs should be entered against the guardian, who is personally responsible for them {Oode, § 469), and the judgment is to be cpllected from the guardian, by execution or otherwise, in the same manner as though the guardian had been plaintiff in his own fight {Oode, § 3249). These provisions supersede the practice which prevailed under the old Codes (see notes to section 3249 of Throop’s Code). The defendant must follow the practice here laid down.
