COURT OF APPEALS.
    Blydenburgh, Appellant, agt. Cotheal, Respondent.
    An appeal brought on the same day that the judgment roll was filed, but pie vious thereto and before the hour for which the costs were adjusted, held good.
    
      January Term, 1851.
    B. W. Bonney, for the respondent,
    moved to dismiss the appeal, on the ground that it was taken too soon. The court below gave judgment on the first day of November last; but the costs were not adjusted and the judgment roll' filed until the fourth day of that month. The appeal was taken on that day before the hour when the costs were adjusted and the roll filed.
    J. W. Blydenburgh, in person,
    opposed the motion.
   Bronson, Ch. J.

As a general rule the court does not inquire into the fractions of a day, except for the purpose of guarding against injustice (Small vs. McChesney, 3 Cow. 19; Clute vs. Clute, 3 Denio, 263). We think that a sufficient answer to this motion. Motion denied.
