JUDGMENTS.

TITLE I.

Judgment in an action.

ARTICLE FIRST.

GENERAL PROVISIONS.

§ 1206. Judgment for or against a married woman, may be rendered and enforced, in a court of record, or not of record, as if she was single.

[Prepared as a substitute for the last two sentences of Co. Proc., § 274. There seems to be no sufficient reason, for preserving any longer the remnants of the distinction between actions against married women, and actions against other persons. Ainsley v. Mead, 3 Lans., 116; Morris v. Wheeler, 45 N. Y., 708. See the note to § 450, ante.]

§ 1211. A judgment for a sum of money, rendered in a court of record, or not of record, or a judgment rendered in a court of record, directing the payment of money, bears interest from the time when it is entered. But where a judgment directs that money paid out shall be refunded or repaid, the direction includes interest from the time when the money was paid unless the contrary is expressed.

[The first sentence is from L. 1844, ch. 324, § 1 (3 R. S., 5th ed., 637; 4 Edm., 628), extended to judgments, in a court of record, directing the payment of money into court, etc., as distinguished from ordinary judgments for money. The second sentence is the provision tacked to § 3 of the same act, by L. 1869, ch. 807, § 1 (7 Edm., 477), amended so as to express more intelligibly its supposed meaning. The act of 1869 is one of the curiosities of legislation; for the section of the act of 1844, which it amended, was undoubtedly repealed, by implication, by Co. Proc., § 310, which was substantially identical with it. Î

TITLE II.

Appeal to the court of appeals.

Exception to sureties; justi

§ 1335.* The attorney for the respondent may, within ten days after service of a copy of the undertaking, with notice of the filing fication. thereof, serve upon the attorney for the appellant, a written notice that he excepts to the sufficiency of the sureties. Within ten days thereafter, the sureties, or other sureties in a new undertaking, to the same effect, must justify, before a judge of the court below, or a county judge. At least five days' notice of the justification must be given; in every other respect, the provisions of sections 578, 579 and 580 of this act apply to the justification. If the judge finds the sureties sufficient, he must indorse his allowance of them, upon the undertaking, or a copy thereof; and a notice of the allowance must be served upon the attorney for the exceptant. The effect of a failure so to justify, and to procure an allowance, is the same, as if the undertaking had not been given.(a)

[Co. Proc., § 341, amended by making the time to except run fro.. the service of a copy of the undertaking, and of notice of filing, instead of the notice of appeal; and by omitting the first sentence, as it is covered by § 812, ante. See Blake v. Lyon, etc., Co., 7 Week. Dig., 461.]

How designate the party to whom the judgment awards the possession recovered thereof; and it must substantially require the sheriff, to deliver the judgment, possession of the property, within his county, to the party entitled collected. thereto. If a sum of money is awarded by the same judgment, it may be collected, by virtue of the same execution; or a separate execution may be issued for the collection thereof, omitting the direction to deliver possession of the property. If one execution is issued for both purposes, it must contain, with respect to the money to be collected, the same directions as an execution against property, or against the person, as the case requires.()
