There is no basis for this motion. The plaintiff made a contract with the defendant to deliver iron castings at a certain price agreed upon. Upon a failure to pay the price for the property after its delivery, the plaintiff has brought an action. The answer avers that by the terms of the contract the plaintiff agreed to indemnify and save harmless the defendant for a failure to perform the contract, and avers a failure, whereby the defendant was sued by other parties, which suit is still pending. The pleadings in this action are set forth in the papers. The defendant gave notice to the plaintiff to assume the defense of the action, which is referred to a referee by agreement of the parties to that action. At this state of the two controversies this motion is made, with a design to have the two controversies adjusted so that “the position and standing of the respective parties under the facts as set forth in this [the plaintiff’s] affidavit” may conform thereto. The facts are disputed, and the two actions must be based upon the real facts as found upon the trial. The motion papers assert that the two actions cannot *169be properly joined m one action upon the facts. The motion was properly denied. The ordinary method of trial would be replaced by a trial upon affidavits ex parte. Order affirmed, with costs and disbursements. All concur.
