In the Matter of the Supplementary Proceedings of DAVID WILLIAMSON, Respondent, v. PETER DROGARIS, Appellant, and Others. In the Matter of the Supplementary Proceedings of ZARAH WILLIAMSON, Respondent,

Appeal from an order punishing a judgment debtor for contempt in failing to obey an order directing him to pay the sum of four dollars a week in payment of two certain judgments, pursuant to the provisions of section 793 of the Civil Practice Act, and fining him the amount of the judgments, although he was in default in the sum of eight dollars at the time the motion to punish for contempt was brought on for hearing. Order modified by reducing the amount of the fine to eight dollars, which was the actual loss or injury to the judgment creditors at the time of the hearing of the motion, and by providing that the judgment debtor may purge himself of such contempt by paying the amount of the fine, as herein reduced, within five days from the entry of the order hereon. The paragraph of the order numbered seventh is modified in accordance with the foregoing. As so modified, the order is affirmed, without costs. This was the limit of the fine that could be imposed pursuant to the provisions of section 773 Jud. of the Judiciary Law. ( Consumer's Poultry Dealers Corp. v. Podberesky Bros., Inc., 244 App. Div. 754; Fall Brook Coal Co. v. Hecksher, 42 Hun, 534; Moffat v. Herman, 116 N.Y. 131. ) Lazansky, P.J., Young, Davis, Johnston and Adel, JJ., concur.
