Head Matter:
Winston Jones, Assignee, etc., v. The Merchants National Bank of the City of New York.
(Supreme Court, General Term, First Department,
Filed June 18,1887.)
Jurisdiction of, supreme court at special term.
The supreme court at special term has no jurisdiction to correct or otherwise interfere with the minutes of the circuit court.
Appeal from the special term order correcting minutes of the circuit court.
George Zabriskie, for app’lt; Burton & Harrison, for resp’t.

Opinion:
Per Curiam
We do not think the supreme court at special term has any jurisdiction to correct or otherwise interfere with the minutes of the circuit court. The tribunals are so far distinct, that the special term has no supervisory power over the minutes of the circuit court.
On this ground, without considering any of the other points raised on the argument, we think the order appealed from should be reversed, with ten dollars costs and disbursements.
