Appeal from special term. Action by George Y. Sims and another against Edward L. Bonner and •another. From an order denying a motion to compel plaintiffs to file security for costs, defendants appeal.
1Opinion of the CourtGildersleeve, J.
It is well settled that defendant’s right to demand security for costs, under section 3268 of the Code, from a non-resident plaintiff, is absolute, unless defendant waives that right by loches, in which case it becomes discretionary with the court to grant the motion, upon defendant’s satisfactory explanation of his delay. See Buckley v. Gutta-Percha Co., 3 Civil Proc. R. 428; Churchman v. Merritt, (Sup.) 2 N. Y. Supp. 843; Wood v. Blodgett, Id. 304; Robertson v. Barnum, 29 Hun, 657; Healy v. Railway Co., 1 Civil Proc. R. 15; Abell v. Bradner, 3 N. Y. Supp. 20; Kleinpeter v. Enell, 2 Civil…
