VAN NAME v. QUEENS LAND & TITLE CO.
(Supreme Court, Appellate Division, First Department.
April 29, 1910.)

Headnote

Judicial Sales (§ 28[1] )—Enforcement of Bid.
Though it be conceded, in a proceeding to compel the purchaser at a judicial sale to take title, that the proper course was to order a new sale, such an order cannot be made therein; but motion therefor" must be made in the action in which the sale was made.
[Ed. Note.—For other cases, see Judicial Sales, Cent. Dig. § 55; Dec. Dig. § 28.[1] ]
Appeal from Special Term, New York County.
Action by William H. Van Name against the Queens Land & Title Company. From an order denying his motion to compel the assignee of the purchaser at a judicial sale to complete the purchase, said Van Name appeals.
Affirmed.
See, also, 130 App. Div. 857 , 115 N. Y. Supp. 905 .
• Argued before INGRAHAM, P. J„ and CLARICE, SCOTT, Mc-LAUGHLIN, and DOWLING, JJ.
Charles Goldzier, for appellant.
Richard T. Greene, for respondent.

Although it was conceded upon the argument that the proper course to pursue was to order a resale, instead of proceeding at once against the purchasers to take title, such an order cannot be made in this kind of a proceeding. A motion to that effect ■should be made in the action in which the sale was ordered.

- The order, therefore, is affirmed, without costs to either party, without prejudice to a motion in the action for a resale.
