Ehrlich, C. J.

The claim was $276, and, with interest, $306.36. The recovery was $93. A demand so materially reduced was not unreasonably resisted. Russell v. Lane, 1 Barb. 519; Bailey v. Schmidt, 5 N. Y. Supp. 405; Cruikshank v. Cruikshank, 9 How. Pr. 350; Johnston v. Myers, 103 N. Y. 666, 9 N. E. Rep. 55; Woodin v. Bagley, 13 Wend. 453; Comstock v. Olmstead, 6 How. Pr. 77; Buckhout v. Hunt, 16 How. Pr. 407; Daggett v. Mead, 11 Abb. N. C. 116. The plaintiff is entitled to the disbursements, but the motion for costs will be denied. No costs.
