SUPREME COURT-GENERAL TERM.
ORDER AND PRECEpr FOR NoN-pAYMENr OF
COSTS.

Before Judges Brady, Davis and Daniels.
Some time since Mr.. Henry II. Morange sought
tc disbar Mr.. Richard B. Kelley upon charges OF
professional irregularty. The charges, however.
were not sustained, and Mr.. Morange was directed
by the Supreme Court. General Term. TO pay the
costs and disbursements. the same being taxed at
$115 30. Such costs and disbursements not hav.
ing been paid, an order and precept were granted
against Morange for his commitment for such non.
payment. An appeal was taken from an order of
Judge DonOhue denying motion to vacate such
order and precept, and the same came up for argu.
ment yesterday In this Court. Mr.. Morange spoke
very earnestly and feelingly IN his own behalf
claiming that he was perfectly innocent OF any
act by which a precept OF this nature could have
been issued that 1t had been issued without any
notice or warning whatever to him: that the pro.
ceeding arose out OF an application TO disbar
Kelley. who had. as he honestly believed, been
guilty OF practising q deceit upon him, and that
there was no order requiring nm To- pay any spec-
1c sums save the SO costs and other legal dsburse
ments Mr.. Arnoux, IN the opposition, insisted that
under and by virtue OF the order OF General Term
Mr.. MOrange was personally liable for the costs
and disbursements OF the proceeding; that the
order was duly made for his commitment; that "A
precept to commit was the only mode authorized
to enforce the collection OF such costs; that 1t
was not necessary that the sum for nor pa v ment
OF which the commitment was. ordered should be
named in the order. and that the order appeal ed
from should be affirmed, with payment OF COSTS
