As this action was commenced before September 1,1880, the costs upon appeal are governed by the old and not by the new Code. (Atkin v. Pitcher, 31 Hun, 352.) It is remarked in this case that (Garling v. Ladd 27 Hun, 112), holding that the new and not the old Code governed the costs in a case like this, must be regarded as overruled by the Court of Appeals. (In Matter of Weston, 91 N. Y., 501.) Be that as it may, a re-examination of the question convinces us that full force was not given to subdivision 11 of section 3347, Code of Civil Procedure, in Garling v. Ladd. That subdivision *589provides: “ So much of chapters * * * 19, * * * as regulates the proceedings to be taken in an action or special proceeding and the effect thereof, applies only to an action or a special proceeding commenced on or after the 1st day .of September, 1880.” Chapter 19 of the Code of Civil Procedure regulates the proceedings to be taken in an action in a Justice’s Court, including appeals, and prescribes “ the effect thereof ” upon the right to costs, and hence cannot affect such right in this case. This subdivision also excludes so much of chapter 19 as regulates the proceedings in this action. Such proceedings must, therefore, be regulated by the old Code, or be without statutory regulation. It was undoubtedly .the intention by the saving clauses in the Code of Civil Procedure sections 3349, 3352, and of the repealing act, chapter 245, Laws of 1880, section 3, to continue the provisions of the old Code in force with respect to actions and proceedings and the effect thereof, to which the new Code, by express words, was made inapplicable.
The plaintiffs did not accept the privilege given them by section 371 of the old Code, to offer to correct the judgment in any of the particulars mentioned in the notice of appeal, but did avail themselves of the privilege given them by subdivision 5 of section-366 of the old Code. This subdivision provides that “ either party may at any time before trial, serve upon the opposite party an offer in writing to allow judgment to be taken against him * * * to the effect in such offer specified, and with or without costs.” The section further provides that in case the party to whom such offer be made shall not accept it, and shall fail to obtain a judgment more favorable to him than the judgment offered, he “ shall not recover costs, but must pay the other party’s costs from the date of the service of the offer.”
Here the appellants failed to obtain a more favorable judgment than the respondent offered them. The respondent offered, in effect, to waive all recovery, and recovered thirteen dollars and ninety-three cents. We must compare results without including costs in order to determine which party is entitled to costs..
It follows that the appellant “ shall not recover costs, but must pay the other party’s costs from the date of the service of the offer,” namely, May 11, 1886.
The same result would follow, if we give force to the proceedings *590taken under the old Code before September 1,1880, and regard the new Code as applicable to the subsequent practice and the respondent’s offer of judgment made under section 3072.
The order of the Special Term is reversed, with ten dollars costs and printing disbursements, and costs of the appeal in the court below are allowed the plaintiffs from May 11, 1886, to be taxed under the Code of Procedure.
