Hall v. Sherwood

The Court ordered, solely on the ground of the irregular and oppressive practice in relation to the taxation, and directed the plaintiff to pay the costs of this motion. Marcy, J., in pronouncing the decision of the court, animadverted with severity upon the conduct of the plaintiff’s attorney, and said, that unless the costs were taxed by the officer to whom the bill was originally brought, the taxation would be set aside as frequently as it was made.
