MOSHER A. SOUTHERLAND, Respondent, v. GEORGE W. MEAD, Appellant.

Headnote

Attachment—For contempt—Motion for—Denial of conditionally.
Appeal by defendant from an order made at Kings county special term denying a motion to punish him for contempt, upon his appearing for examination in supplementary proceedings upon a day named, and in default that an attachment issue.
John F. Coffin, for appellant; John C. Dennison, for respondent.

There was a motion for an attachment for contempt against the defendant, and it was denied and now the defendant has appealed from the order. It is true that the denial was conditional, but the appeal is from the entire order, and not from that portion imposing the condition.

p. 888
The order was favorable to the defendant in any view, and there is no merit in the appeal.

The order should be affirmed, with ten dollars costs, besides disbursements.
