DANIEL TOFFEY and others, Respondents, v. STEPHEN T. WILLIAMS, Appellant.
    
      Order of wrest—when granted.
    
    Where two separate causes of action are joined in a complaint, an order of arrest will not lie unless there be a right of arrest upon the entire claim of the complaint.
    
    An order of arrest should not be granted in an action brought to recover a balance upon a running account, made up in great part of items entirely untainted with fraud.
    Appeal from an order made at the Special Term, denying a motion made by the defendant to vacate an order of arrest.
    
      Sha/w <& Jeroloman, for the appellant.
    
      Abraham & Merritt, for the respondents.

   Opinion by Barrett, J.

Davis, P. J., and Daniels, J., concurred.
