New York Supreme Court, 1803

Gilbert v. Brazier

Gilbert v. Brazier
New York Supreme Court · Decided May 15, 1803
1 Cai. Cas. 13; 1 Cole. & Cai. Cas. 153
Gilbert v. Brazier

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

The statute directing the mode of making

the levy, declares it shall be done without fee or reward. The fee bill gives a fee, but does not say by whom it shall be paid. We all know how it has been; the fee has been charged by the sheriff in his accounts. This, we think, is the regular practice; for it cannot be demanded from the person who has been obliged to pay the fine.
