Per Curiam:
This case has heretofore been before this General Term (77 Hun, 545), and we do not perceive that it now presents any different aspect from what it did then. The principles then enunciated as to the discretion to be exercised by courts in determining motions of this character, were carefully considered, and the rules then laid down were not merely the dicta of the judge writing the opinion, but were the utterances of the General Term, and they are the rules to govern the hearing and determining of such motions in this department, until reversed or modified by the General Term thereof, or by the Court of Appeals. They are not cast iron rules, but, like other general rules, subject to possible exceptions. The ease before us is not one of those exceptional cases which is exempted from the general rule, but seems to be one to which the general rules are peculiarly applicable. Tne order appealed from is reversed with ten dollars costs and printing and other disbursements, and the motion denied, with ten dollars costs.
Present — Mayham, P. J., Putnam and Herrick, JJ.
