value of his friendship, wholly disinterested, cannot be estimated or measured. Yet such is the heritage left by our departed chief to each of his associates.
"Justice ADAMS died at his home in Canandaigua, N. Y., on the 12th day of October, 1903.
"We rejoice because of his life, the influence of which will live a perpetual inspiration for good. We deeply mourn his death, but "Thy will be done.”

ADMISSION — Conditional promise in an affidavit — when it is not to be treated, on a motion, as a concession.] The following statement, contained in an affidavit submitted in opposition to a motion, "as to them, plaintiff will consent that they reside at the respective places indicated by them - viz. * * provided they admit that they are citizens of said cities, cantons and Republic," is a mere conditional promise the possibility of the enforce- ment of which upon the trial, in the absence of its incorporation into an order or into a stipulation, is so problematical that the court should not treat it as a concession and base its decision of the motion thereon.
ADVERSE POSSESSION - Judicial sale- purchaser at, when required to take title to a right of way, sold thereat, founded upon adverse possession, and also one of necessity. METZGER v. MARTIN..
ANIMAL Charge that proof that an owner of a dog allows it to run on the highway dispenses with proof of its being vicious.] In an action to recover damages for personal injuries sustained by the plaintiff in consequence of being bitten by a dog owned or harbored by the defendant, it is error for the trial judge to charge, "If this dog was running at large on the public highway when this girl was bitten, providing you so find, it does away with the necessity of proving actual knowledge of the vicious tendency and dis- position of the dog, for he is chargeable with the vicious tendency and dis- position of the dog, if the dog is running at large on the public highway," as there is no presumption that a dog which is permitted to run at large is vicious.

APPEAL Where a judgment in equity is valueless the court cannot by a sup- plemental interlocutory judgment provide for the payment of damages as a sub- stitute - if no appeal be taken from such interlocutory judgment a final judg ment conforming thereto will not be disturbed.

ATTACHMENT - Judgment by default in the New York Municipal Court where an attachment has been issued and the summons has not been personally served.] 1. A judgment cannot be rendered by default pursuant to section 91 of the New York Municipal Court Act (Laws of 1902, chap. 580) or sec- tion 2918 of the Code of Civil Procedure, in an action where the defendant has not appeared or been personally served with the summons, but in which, however, his property has been attached, unless it appears that the affidavits upon which the warrant of attachment was issued were sufficient to authorize it. MOHLMAN Co. v. LANDWEHR........
2. Burden of proof that the defendant fraudulently disposed of his property.] On an application for a warrant of attachment on the ground that the defendant has disposed of his property with intent to cheat and defraud his creditors, the burden of proving the fraudulent intent is upon the party applying for the writ, and circumstances which create a strong suspicion of fraud, but yet fall short of prima facie proof thereof, are not sufficient. Id. 3. What is not sufficient to establish that a sale of merchandise in bulk is void under chapter 528 of the Laws of 1902.] An averment in the moving affidavits that, upon a sale by the defendant of his entire stock of merchandise in bulk, the defendant and the purchaser did not do the things required by chapter 528 of the Laws of 1902, which provides that the sale of an entire stock of merchandise in bulk is fraudulent and void against the creditors of the seller, unless, at least five days before the sale, the seller and purchaser do certain things, is insufficient to establish the violation of the statute in question, where it is evident that the averment is not based upon personal knowledge and the situation of the parties is not such as to create a pre- sumption of knowledge and no sources of information are disclosed. Id.
4. The fraud which will justify an attachment must be an actual not a mere statutory one.] Semble, that the fraud, which, by the Code of Civil Procedure, is made the ground for an attachment, is an actual and intentional or moral fraud, and not one which is declared to be such by statute because of the omission of certain specified formalities. Id.
5. Requisites of a levy under an attachment.] A substantial com- pliance with the requirements of section 649 of the Code of Civil Procedure, which prescribes the method in which a levy under a warrant of attachment shall be made, is essential to the validity of the levy. BARTON v. PALMER
6. Proof of service on "the treasurer or managing agent of the defend- ant," not alleging that it was a corporation, is insufficient.] A complaint in an action brought against "Albert Palmer Company," in aid of an attachment, which alleges that the attachment papers were served upon 'Cornelius A. Palmer, who then was the treasurer or managing agent of the defendant herein," but which does not allege that the defendant is a corporation, is fatally defective, as, in the absence of such an allegation, it does not appear that service upon the said Cornelius A. Palmer was sufficient service upon the defendant. Id.
-An execution supersedes the attachment lien.] An execution issued in the form prescribed by section 1370 of the Code of Civil Procedure, upon
