Genet v. Delaware & H. Canal Co.

Headnote

Appeal from an order made at special term on the motion of defendant, suspending the operation of the judgment heretofore entered in this action, so far as the same contains an injunction against the defendant, pending an appeal therefrom by the defendant to the court of appeals. This same order was before this court at the December, 1888, term, and an order was then made by this court, reversing the special term order, so far as it suspended the operation of the j udgment or relieved the defendant from the duty of immediate obedience to the injunction contained in it, on the ground that the court had no power to make the same. See 4 N. Y. Supp. 633 . From the last-mentioned order defendant appealed to the court of appeals, where it was reversed, and the cause remitted to the general term for the exercise of its discretion. 21 N. E. Rep. 390 . By the order of the special term the operation of this injunction was suspended on condition that defendant give a bond in the penalty of $25,000 to secure the payment by defendant to plaintiff of “all damages which she may sustain by reason of defendant continuing to do, pending the said appeal, the acts, or any of them, which are prohibited by said judgment, or by reason of its omitting to do, pending the said appeal, the acts, or any of them, commanded by said judgment, in case the said judgment be affirmed by the court of appeals. ” A precisely similar order was made by Judge Freedman on the appeal to the general term from the original judgment of injunction, except that the bond was only $10,000.
