Moulton v. Hubbard

Moulton v. Hubbard
New York Supreme Court · Decided August 15, 1810
6 Johns. 332

Counsel

Foot, for the defendant,, Ross, contra.

Moulton v. Hubbard

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

Since the statute (sess. 28. c. 93. s. 6.) has rendered attorneys liable to be sued before justices of the peace, they are no longer liable to pay costs in this court, when the amount recovered is less than 25 dollars ; but, in regard to costs,' are in the same situation as every other person. We grant the motion, on payment of the amount recovered ; and on the defendant’s stipulating not to bring any action for false imprisonment.

Rule accordingly,
