Pincite

Opinion

The following is the opinion at special term:

McCarthy, J.

This isnot a motion to open a default and allow the defendant to come in and defend, but it is to vacate and set aside a judgment and execution taken by default on the ground that the defendant was not twenty-one years of age at the time of said judgment and execution, and that, therefore, they are hull and void. There is nothing in this contention. The question of infancy can only be raised after the default is opened, and the defendant allowed to plead. There may be reason why the default should be opened so as to allow it to be pleaded, but the defendant does not ask for this relief. Motion is denied, with ten dollars costs.

Fitzsimons, J.

Order affirmed upon the opinion of the special term justice, with costs.

Van Wyck, J., concurs.
