    VAN PUB. CO. v. TEACHERS’ MAGAZINE PUB. CO.
    (City Court of New York, General Term.
    July 11, 1900.)
    Execution Sale—Postponement—Costs.
    Where an execution sale was postponed from February 13th to February 15th, without objection, and on the 14th the sheriff was enjoined from holding the sale on the 15th, and it was not. held until the 24th, an item in the sheriff’s bill of $60 for keeper’s fees was reasonable.
    Appeal from special term.
    Action by the Van Publishing Company against the Teachers’ Magazine Publishing Company. From an order taxing a bill of costs and disbursements, plaintiff appeals.
    Affirmed.
    Argued before CORLAN and HASCALL, JJ.
    Lyon & Smith, for appellant.
    Philip J. Britt, for respondent.
   CORLAN, J.

Objection is made to an item of $60 for keeper’s fees. It appears that a sale was advertised for the 13th of February, and before the day of sale notice was sent to the plaintiff’s attorney that the sale would be postponed to February 15th. To this no objection was made. On the 14th of February the sheriff was served with an order appointing a receiver of the defendant, and enjoining sale on the 15th, and the sale subsequently occurred on February 24th by an order of the supreme court. The keepers of the sheriff were in charge of the property until February 23d, and the amount taxed is the reasonable allowance for such service. We cannot say that any error was committed by the sheriff, and the order appealed from should therefore be affirmed; but, as the amount of the fund realized on the sale is so small, we do not think any costs should be awarded on this appeal to the prevailing party.

HASCALL, J., concurs.
