The appeal in this action presents the same questions, substantially, as those raised in the case of John R.' Lent against the same defendant, ante, 729, (decided at the present term of the court.) Both actions were upon awards of commissioners of appraisal in the same proceedings, but in this action there was an answer to the complaint, and a trial before a jury, at which a verdict was directed for the plaintiff by the trial judge. The questions of law involved in this ease are the same as those in the Lent Case, and the objection respecting the recording of the order of confirmation of the report of the commissioners of appraisal is a question of fact, founded upon an erroneous construction of the statute which requires the order to be recorded. The contention of the defendant is that the order should be recorded in the book of conveyances, but such a construction would render a compliance with the statute impossible in those counties having a register’s office, where all conveyances are required to be recorded. The order was recorded in the office of the county clerk of Dutchess county, and we think the statute received compliance in that respect. There being no question of fact involved upon the trial, the trial judge was justified in directing a verdict. The judgment should be affirmed, with costs.
