Head Matter:
Knapp against Mead.( )
A trial by record is to be brought on by motion, pursuant to a notice of four days, as in other special motions.
This being the day assigned for the trial by the record, on which this suit was brought,
Beers
now moved to bring it on, but it was objected in behalf of the defendant, that there ought to have been a regular notice of trial, of eight days, as in other cases, which had not been given.
*The court took time to consider how the practice ought to be settled.
(b) S. C., C. C. 122.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
The trial by record must, hereafter, always come on by motion, pursuant to a notice of four days, instead of the old practice of assigning a time, which the present rules render useless.( )
(c) Trial by record was a non-enumerated motion; McKenzie v. Wilson, 2 Caines, 385 ; and brought on by motion pursuant to a notice of four days; principal case ; Manhattan Co. v. Herbert, 1 Caines, 6; but it is abolished by the Revised Statutes of New York; vol. 2, p. 331, § 4, 2d ed.
