Moxell, Ch. J. (concurring).
The return of the sheriff, “ not found,” authorized the action against the bail; and it was too late to apply for an exoneretur after the bail had become charged (Code § 188). It seems the return of the sheriff can not be questioned in the action against the bail (Cozine v. Walter, 55 N. Y. 304). It, therefore, can not be, in a motion to discharge the bail. The remedy is by action against the sheriff for a false return.
I concur in affirming the order, with costs.
