It is contended that the court’s action was an abuse of discretion.

Defendant’s affidavit in support of the motion was sufficient, indeed there is no contention to the contrary. Appellant argues that the proper remedy was a suit in equity.

There is no merit to the argument nor to the appeal.

The order is affirmed.

York, P. J., and White, J., concurred.
