Stewart v. Baldwin
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
Stewart v. Baldwin, 1 Pen. & W. 461 (Pa. 1830)
Stewart v. Baldwin
Opinion of the Court
We have inquired into the practice since the argument, without having ascertained that there has-been a departure from the provisions of the English statutes, according to which costs are not allowed in. partition; and however unreasonable this may be,-yet costs being exclusively a matter of statutory creation,, it is'plain that the remedy lies not with us, but with the legislature. The judgment for the defendant without costs was therefore regular.
Judgment affirmed.
