New York Supreme Court, 1825

Ex parte Davis & Sowle

New York Supreme Court · Decided October 15, 1825

5 Cow. 33

Counsel

J. Platt, moved for a mandamus,

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

These parties were before the Court, who, we think, had jurisdiction over their persons for the purpose of costs.(a)

Motion denied.

In like manner, this court sometimes give costs against one who moves for a mandamus, if the motion be opposed, though it be denied ; and therefore no canso of action be commenced. (Ex parte Root, 4 Cowen’s Rep. 548.)
