Schachne v. Kayser

Daniels, J.

— The provisions of the Code prescribing what shall be done to obtain an order of arrest, do not require that the requirements of Rule 25 shall be complied with *396by the applicant, for the reason it could not have been intended in reserving the right of the party arrested to move to vacate the order at any time before final judgment, to include' the right so to move for a failure to comply with Rule 25. The provisions by being made a part of the Code must, on the contrary, have been intended to reserve that right for a failure to comply with its other provisions and is a portion of the statutory system, deemed as a remedy to the party arrested, when that has been done without complying with what the Code has required, to entitle the party to the order. It does not result from this construction that a like motion cannot be made for failing to comply with Rule 25. But it does follow that the failure is merely an irregularity, and while the defendant may move to vacate the order as irregularly made, on account of .this omission, that should be done with diligence, as the parties are required to move to set aside other proceedings irregularly taken. This motion has not been so made. It has been delayed until the action is ready for trial, and the defendant has not been injured by the irregularity. It was an omission, depriving him of no right or privilege, and probably resulted from a mere oversight, The order under the facts should not be set aside. ' But the motion should be denied, with costs.
