Shiels v. Wortman

Opinion of the Court

Pratt, J.

We see no reason bo change bhe opinion expressed upon the former argument of this appeal. 8 N. Y. Supp. 799. Ib seems clear that the ordinary bill of costs does not compensate defendants for the expenses imposed upon them by the action. Nor do we And any reason why the plaintiffs should not be held to the ordinary liability of litigants. The order appealed from should be reversed, with $10 costs and disbursements, and the motion may be renewed at special term. All concur.
