Motion for leave to issue execution. On December 3, 1878, Peter Herder recovered a judgment against George B. Collyer and Dwight C. Crocker in a First judicial district court of New York city, and a transcript of that judgment was on the same day died in the office of the clerk of the city and county of New York.

1Opinion of the CourtBookstaver, J.

The court of appeals has recently decided, in Dieffenbach v. Roch, 20 N. E. Rep. 560, that an action upon a justice’s judgment must be commenced within six years, but it was held in Waltermire v. Westover, 14 N. Y. 16, that the limitation respecting the time within which an action might be brought did not affect the remedy by execution. The plaintiff should, therefore, have leave to issue execution against the defendant served, and against the other defendant upon publishing the proper notice once a week, for three weeks, in two newspapers, to be designated.
