Appeals from the City Court are to be taken to the Court of Common Pleas for the city and county of New York. Code, § 3191. The appeal must be heard at. a'General Term of the appellate court. § 3193. The Special Term, therefore, has no power to dispose of the appeal. A motion to dismiss upon the ground that the appeal has not been perfected, or for any other reason, cannot be entertained at the Special Term.

Where a party has served his notice of appeal in time, but has omitted to give an undertaking, the court in or to which the appeal is taken may, in its discretion, permit the omission to be supplied. Code, § 1303. The application for such permission may be made at Special Term of this court, for the Court of Common Pleas is the court in or to which the appeal is taken (§ 3191), and all applications to the court must be made in the first instance at the Special Term, unless by statute or rule it is provided otherwise. All the powers of the court, except the hearing of appeals, are exercised by the Special Term.

In this case, therefore, upon proper proof of the facts the Special Term may entertain the plaintiffs’ application for leave to supply the omitted undertaking, which is necessary to perfect their appeal (Carling v. Purcell, 3 Misc. Rep. 55 ; 22 N. Y. Supp. 558), and opportunity will be afforded to make that motion since the order dismissing the appeal will have to be reversed. Such an order, if authorized in any event, can be made only at the General Term of this com*t. Order reversed, without costs.

Bischoff and Pryor, JJ., concur.

Order reversed, without costs.
