56 How. Pr. 354

Counsel

R. A. Parmenter, for the defendants,, E. F. Bullard, for the plaintiffs,

Palmer v. Ranken

Opinion of the Court

The Court

decided that the judgment must be affirmed, as it could not tell, from the report, whether costs had been properly allowed unless the evidence was presented, and that the propriety of granting such costs depends upon the evidence and not upon the facts found or the decision given. The plaintiff’s counsel then asked for liberty to present the case, and it was granted upon payment of ten dollars costs and the cause put over the term.
