Ocean Insurance v. Rider

Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court
Ocean Insurance v. Rider, 39 Mass. 210 (Mass. 1839)

Ocean Insurance v. Rider

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

We think the statute does not refer to counsel fees, but only to the taxable costs. It is clear that the same rule is to be applied to these judgments as in the case of a set-off of executions. There the officer is to exclude from the set-off, only the bill of costs as it appears on the execution. He has thus a plain rule for his guidance. And this view of the question, we believe, is in conformity to the practice.
