Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, 1824

Stewart v. Jewell

Stewart v. Jewell
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania · Decided September 11, 1824
11 Serg. & Rawle 359; 1824 Pa. LEXIS 79

Stewart v. Jewell

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

We think it best to abide by the rule laid down in Fraley v. Nelson. The party in whose favour the award is made, should have his costs taxed quickly- We do not say what would be the case, if the appeal should be entered by a trick; before the party had time to tax his costs; or after reasonable notice of taxing the costs had been given, and before the day fixed for taxing had arrived. That would be a fraud on the law.

The judgment in this case is to be reversed.
