The plaintiff brought her action in the County Court, and was met by a motion , which resulted in an order directing her to file security for costs within five days after service of the order upon her, and directing that all proceedings on her part be stayed. Upon her failure, and after she was in default two months in filing the security, the defendant made a- motion to dismiss her complaint with costs of the action and of his mtition. Upon an order to show cause the plaintiff thereafter moved for leave to discontinue the action, after tendering to the defendant’s attorney ten dollars costs and a stipulation of discontinuance which the latter refused to sign. Both motions were heard, by the County Court at the same time, and resulted in the order appealed from, which denied, without costs, the motion to dismiss 4he complaint, and directed that leave be granted to the plaintiff to discontinue upon the payment of twenty-five dollars ’ within ten days after service of a copy of the order. The defendant has appealed, and urges upon us that inasmuch as the case was an action at law, plaintiff could discontinue only upon payment of all the taxable costs to the date of the motion. This Appellate Division, however, in National Wall
The order should be affirmed, with costs.
