Head Matter:
Patrick Dunn et al., Respondents, v. Charles Wehle, Appellant.
Appeal from an order of discontinuance.
Gha/rles Wehle, for appellant.
John Whalen, for respondent.

Opinion:
McCabthy, J.
It seems to me clear that the want of jurisdiction in this case appears on the face of the complaint.
Before the plaintiff can claim any money judgment he must apply to a court of equity, as appears by the demand of the complaint for judgment, to wit: " First, that the alleged assignment aforesaid be declared fraudulent and void and of no effect, and that the same be set aside."
The court has no power to grant such relief, and the order to discontinue without costs was properly allowed.
Order is, therefore, affirmed, with costs.
Van Wyck, J., concurs.
Order affirmed, with costs.
