13 Abb. Pr. 471

Counsel

J. O. Robinson, for the appellants., C. S. Woodhull, for the respondent.

Parfitt v. Warner

Opinion of the Court

Br the Court.*β€” Ingraham, J.

β€”The undertaking was not void, and might be sufficient for all purposes under the Code, though not in exact compliance with the statute.

In such a case, the proper course was to move to set it aside, and to allow the plaintiff to proceed and sell, or to give notice of the defect in the undertaking.

*473To warrant the course taken in this case, without notice of any kind, would be doing injustice to the parties, and encouraging a course of proceeding which ought not be approved, of.

The order should be reversed, and the sale vacated and discharged, without prejudice to a motion of the plaintiff to set aside the undertaking.

Present, Clerke, P. J., Ingraham and Leonard, JJ.
