Allen, J.

Prior to the enactment of the statute which is embodied in section 2286 of the Code, there was no authority under the statutes of the state to release a person imprisoned fora contempt in proceedings supplementary to execution. Van Wezel v. Van Wezel, 3 Paige, 38. Such persons may now be relieved, under section 2286, and the defendant should make his application under t'hat section. The present motion must be denied, without costs.
