    Appeal by the defendant, William Boernm Wetmore, from an order of the Supreme Court, made at the New York Special Term and entered in the office of the clerk of the county of New York on the 20th day of January, 1898, denying his motion for a rehearing of a motion denied by an order made at the New York Special Term bearing date the 29th day of September, 1896.
    
      Thomas P. Wickes, for the appellant.
    
      Flamen B. Candler, for the respondent.
   Ingraham, J.:

We think this order was properly denied. A motion was originally argued and submitted to the court which was decided by the entry of an order on the 29th day of September, 1896, and which contained a provision that the defendant William B. Wetmore have leave to renew the motion on paying the balance of the arrears of alimony due from him to the plaintiff under the judgment of divorce granted to the plaintiff in her action against the said defendant William B. Wetmore,” and upon the said defendant paying the. costs of this .action which have been awarded against him. It is not claimed by the defendant that he has complied with the terms of this order or has paid the arrears of alimony due, and he was not, therefore, entitled to renew the motion under the order entered denying his original motion. For that reason the court below properly denied his motion for a rehearing, and the order denying that motion is affirmed, witli ten dollars costs and disbursements.

Van Brunt, P. J., Patterson, O’Brien and McLaughlin, JJ., concurred.

Order affirmed, with ten dollars costs and disbursements.
