This rule shall apply to all receivers, present and future; and no allowance shall be made to any receiver for expenses paid, or made, or incurred in violation of this rule.

RULE LXXXII.

Examination of a party before trial. — When an examination is required under sections 870, 871, 872 of the Code of Civil Procedure, the affidavit shall specify the facts and circumstances which show, in conformity with subdivision 4 of section 872, that the examination of the person is material and necessary.

RULE LXXXIII.

RULE LXXXIV.

RULE LXXXV.

Appellate division; announcement of decisions; delivery of copies of opinions; publication. Before any decision of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in any department in which an opinion is written is announced there shall be furnished to the clerk of the court a copy of each opinion delivered by the court, and immediately after the

announcement of the decision and on the same day the clerk shall transmit such copy or copies so received by him, duly certified as required by section 92 of the Judiciary Law, and a list of all cases decided at the same time to the Supreme Court Reporter, and no decision on any appeal in which an opinion is written shall be announced until a copy of the opinion has been furnished to the clerk as aforesaid. No copy of any opinion in any case decided by the Appellate Division in any department shall be delivered to any person until after the decision is announced, and no copy of such opinion shall be delivered to any person except counsel in the case until after the list of decisions and certified copies of the opinions shall have been transmitted to the Supreme Court Reporter. The Supreme Court Reporter shall publish the opinions of the Appellate Divisions as soon as practicable without waiting to publish together all the opinions of a particular term or month. (Added June 17, 1913; in effect November 1, 1913.)

RULE LXXXVI.

Appellate division in first department to designate newspapers in which to publish legal notices, process, and other papers. Whenever a notice, summons, citation, order or other paper shall be required by the Code of Civil Procedure or other provision of law, or by the order of any court or a judge thereof, or of a surrogate or of the clerk of a court or any other official or individual, to be published in a newspaper in the First Department, or public notice of any application to a court or judge or other officer shall be required to be given by publication thereof in a newspaper in the First Department, or where any court or a judge thereof or a surrogate or other judicial officer or public officer is authorized or required to designate a newspaper in the First Department for the publication of any such notice, summons, citation, order or other paper, the newspaper designated by any court or judge thereof, or surrogate or other judicial officer or public officer, shall be a newspaper designated by the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the First Department, as hereinafter provided, and no such publication shall be deemed to give the notice required to be given if the same is published in any newspaper in the First Department which has not been designated by an order of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the First Department, and the publication of such notice, summons, citation, order or other paper in any undesignated newspaper in the First Department shall not be deemed a compliance with any provision of the Code of Civil Procedure or other provision of law or of the order of any court or judge.

The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the First Department shall from time to time designate such newspapers in such department as in its opinion have such a circulation as is calculated to give public notice of a legal publication, and from time to time revoke such designation. To entitle a newspaper to such a designation it must file with the clerk of the Appellate Division a statement, duly verified, showing approximately the amount of its circulation, the tine and place of its regular publication, and a statement of its charges for legal publications. (Added June 17, 1913; in effect November 1, 1913.)

ANNUITY TABLE.

Table showing the value of an annuity of one dollar on a single life, according to the Carlisle table of mortality, at five per cent. interest, referred to in Rule LXX of the General Rules of Practice.

RULE FOR ASCERTAINING THE VALUE OF A LIFE ESTATE OB

ANNUITY.

Compute the interest at five per cent. for one year on the principal sum to the income of which the annuitant is entitled. Multiply the interest thus obtained by the number of years' purchase set opposite the age of the person on whose life the annuity depends, and the product will be the value of the life estate of such person.

Example.

Suppose a man, aged sixty, has a life estate in real property worth $3,000. Five per cent. interest on that amount for one year is $150. In the table we find the number of years' purchase of a man of sixty is 8.94, which, multiplied by $150, one year's interest, gives $1,341 as the value of his life estate. Suppose a widow aged forty has a dower right of $2,000. Interest on this at five per cent. for one year is $100. The number of years' purchase, by the table, of a person of forty, is $13.389. Multiplying this by $100, the result is $1,338.90, which is therefore the value of her right of dower.
