Opinion:
Per Curiam.
—Section 3272 of the Code .the court in the first instance tto grant simply an order for an undertaking in the sum of $250 or a deposit of that amount as security for costs.
That section was complied with by the order which was giadd in the court below, and the power of the court was then exhausted, so far as the original application was concerned. ,
We think, therefore, -that the order appealed from should be affirmed, with ten dollars costs and disbursements.
