By the Court, Marcy, J.
The" plaintiff has not been irregular. An order to stay proceedings after the case was settled not having been obtained, the plaintiff had a right to, enter judgment and issue execution. The case, however, having been made in good faith, the proceedings on the execution are stayed until the decision of the cause.-
