Tinkham v. Meigs
Tinkham v. Meigs
16 Mass. 450
Tinkham v. Meigs
Opinion of the Court
We are all of opinion, that the costs claimed by the plaintiff were properly taxable. The hearing before the referees was a regular part of the proceedings in the suit; and all these costs were necessarily incurred by the plaintiff in the prosecution of his rights. It was not owing to him, that the report of the referees was not accepted ; if it had been, perhaps our opinion might have been different.
