Gookin v. Upham

The Revised Statutes, ch. 191, <§> 7, give the Court power in all actions and petitions, “ to order such security for costs as they may deem just and reasonable.”

In this case the plaintiff is shown to be insolvent, and the suit is prosecuted in his name for the benefit of his assignees. We think it just and reasonable that the defendant should have security for his costs.

Motion allowed.
