Seymour v. Deyo
Seymour v. Deyo
5 Cow. 289
Opinion of the Court
We cannot hear the question upon the nonsuit argued, merely to unsettle the question as to costs. Tips would be its only effect. Granting a new trial rests in the sound discretion of the court; and we have refused to do this, where it was plain that the only effect would he a recovery of nominal damages. The present case is analogous in principle ; and the motion must be granted.
Rule accordingly.
