    (Argued November 30, 1896;
    decided December 8, 1896.)

The motions were made upon the ground that defendants, having accepted benefits under the judgments by demanding and exacting conveyances of the easements of the plaintiffs, have waived their right to appeal.
    
      Henry A Forster for motions.
    
      Brainard Tolles and Julien T. Davies opposed.
