Parks v. Brewer

Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court
Parks v. Brewer, 31 Mass. 192 (Mass. 1833)

Parks v. Brewer

Opinion

In this case it was held, that an attorney at law who attends court on account of professional business and also upon a subpioena as a witness, is not entitled to costs as a witness, except to a day’s pay for attendance on the day on which he testifies ; or if, after completing his own business, he is detained as a witness, to pay for attendance during the whole time of the detention ; but that if he comes to court solely as a witness, he then stands like other witnesses in regard to costs.
