Head Matter:
Emma B. Stewart, Respondent, v. William J. Stewart, Appellant.
First Department,
July 8, 1908.
Appeal — ex parte order — practice.
There- is no direct appeal from an ex parte order; a review can he had only by moving to vacate it and appealing from the order denying that motion.
Appeal by the defendant, William J. Stewart, from an exparte order of the Supreme Court directing the issuance of a warrant for the commitment of the defendant for contempt of court.
Harry C. Kayser, for the appellant.
Edwin F. Stern, for the respondent.

Opinion:
Per Curiam:
The order appealed from is an ex parte -order from which no appeal lies. The only method of reviewing the correctness of an éx parte order is by a motion to vacate it, and, if that is denied, by an appeal from the order of denial.
