An order denying a new. trial—it may be resettled,'so as to show that the plaintiff excepted, to a dismissal of the complaint.
An order denying a motion for a new trial of an action, made upon the minutes of the court, may, upon sufficient proof by the record that the plaintiff excepted in time to a dismissal of the. complaint, be resettled, to the end that it may show that the motion for a new trial was made upon such an exception duly taken.

Appeal by the plaintiff, Abbie E. Snelling, from an order of the Supreme Court, made at the Wew York Trial Term and entered in the office of the clerk of the county of Wew York on the 3d day of August, 1897, denying the plaintiff’s motion for the resettlement of an order entered in said clerk?s office on the 30th day of July,. 1897, which denied the plaintiff’s motion for a new trial made upon the minutes.

Opinion:
Barrett, J. :
As we have held upon the main appeal that the plaintiff took a. sufficient exception to the dismissal of the complaint to ivarrant the hearing and decision of the motion for a new trial upon the trial justice's minutes, we think the order appealed from should be modified so as to permit the fact that such exception was taken to appear therein. The learned counsel for the plaintiff, in his application for a resettlement, asked more than he was entitled to, and specified grounds which were not taken. That, however, does not deprive him. of a resettlement as to the ground which actually was taken. .
: The order denying the motion for a resettlement should, therefore, be reversed and an order made resettling the original order so-as to read that the motion- therein referred was made upon the plaintiffs exception to the dismissal of the complaint, without costs of this appeal.
