California Supreme Court · Decided July 1, 1861 · Cope
17 Cal. 336

Esmond v. Chew

Opinion of the Court

Cope, J. delivered the opinion of the Court

Baldwin, J. concurring.

This is an action for damages, and for an injunction. The plaintiffs recovered less than two hundred dollars, and the question is whether they are entitled to costs. This, we think, is one of the cases in which the allowance of costs is in the discretion of the Court. (Practice Act, sec. 495, 498.) They were refused by the Court below, and we cannot interfere.

Judgment affirmed.
