Chesapeake & Ohio Canal Co. v. Poor

The Court (nem con.) ordered the judgment to be entered for the several subscriptions, with costs; and observed, that the *599charter was granted by Virginia, and confirmed and adopted by Maryland, Pennsylvania, and the United States; and that there was in Virginia, at that time, a statute authorizing the court in all cases of judgment on motion to give costs at its discretion. If such a motion as the present were made in Virginia against a subscriber under this charter, the judgment would be with costs, and the same construction should be given everywhere to this clause of the charter.

Judgment for $75, with costs.
