Giegerich, J.
Inasmuch as the plaintiffs are nonresidents the provisions of section 3268 of the Code of Civil Procedure apply, and the defendant is entitled to security for costs, as of right. Pursley v. Eodgers, 44 App. Div. 139. "Under this section it is the nonresidence which gives such right, while under section 3271 the court may, in its discretion, require security to be given by a plaintiff suing in a representative capacity. Thus it will be seen that the determining factor in the former case is the nonresidence of the plaintiff, irrespective of the capacity in which he is suing, while in the latter it is the capacity alone which controls. Motion granted, with ten dollars costs to the defendant to abide the event.
