New York Supreme Court, 1818

Williams v. Sherman

Williams v. Sherman
New York Supreme Court · Decided May 15, 1818
15 Johns. 195
Williams v. Sherman

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

The credibility of the witness was a question for the justice, and we should not set aside the judgment on that ground, especially as it is very questionable whether he was properly admitted. But in the costs, the justice has allowed the costs of swearing the defendant’s witnesses. This was incorrect. The judgment must, therefore, be affirmed as to the damages, and reversed as to the costs, and no costs will be recoverable on either side. (8 Johns. Rep. 111. 13 Johns. Rep. 350. 460.)
