Opinion of the Court

THAYER, District Judge.

This is a second writ of error which was sued out in this case, after a first writ of error had been granted to obtain a reversal of the judgment for errors committed at the trial. The present writ was sued out to correct alleged errors of the trial court in the taxation of costs after the rendition of judgment. As we have already reversed the judgment in this case, on which the liability to pay the disputed costs depends (62 Fed. 116), and as there was no apparent necessity for suing out the second writ, inasmuch as all of the assigned errors might have been incorporated in one and the same record, the second writ of error should be dismissed at the cost of the plaintiff in error, and it is so ordered.
