Head Matter:
JOHN W. WALSH, as Receiver of WILLIAM H. VAN ALLEN, Appellant, v. ELEANOR VAN ALLEN and Others, Executrix, etc., of ADAM VAN ALLEN, Deceased, Respondents.
•Costs on appeal from a Surrogate's Court — Code of Civil Procedure, sees. 2570, 3240.
Appeal from an order made by the Surrogate’s Court of Albany county, dismissing a petition and citation requiring the respondents to ■show cause why they should not be compelled to file an inventory.
The court at General Term said with reference to the costs : “ Section 2560 says ‘ the costs of an appeal, where they are awarded in a Surrogate’s Court, are the same as if they were awarded in the Supreme Court.’ There is no appeal to the Surrogate’s Court; and strictly there is no appeal in the Surrogate’s Court. But there is an appeal from that court to the Supreme Court. (See. 2510.) ■Section 3240 makes costs in special proceedings the same (as to rates) with costs in an action.
“ Taking these sections together, we think that the costs on an appeal from an order in a special proceeding in the Surrogate’s Court must be as in a similar case in an action in the Supreme Court, viz.,- ten dollars and printing disbursements.”
N. P. Hinmam, for the appellant.
Nathaniel O. MoaJtt, for the respondents.
