New York Supreme Court, 1826

Seymour v. Deyo

Seymour v. Deyo
New York Supreme Court · Decided February 15, 1826
5 Cow. 289

Counsel

J. Sudam, contra.

Seymour v. Deyo

Opinion of the Court

Curia.

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.(a)
