New York Supreme Court September 30, 1889 (Anderson v. Tomkins)

Barrett, J.

The provisions of sections 677 and 678 of the Code of Civil Procedure are not applicable to money deposited in court in lieu of bail, and the court cannot permit an action against its clerk for obedience of its lawful orders. The money so deposited came within the provisions of another system, namely, those with regard to arrest and bail.
