1 Cai. Cas. 123

Jackson v. Mann

New York Supreme Court

Decided August 15, 1803

New York Supreme Court · decided 1803-08-15

Woodworth moved for judgment as in case of nonsuit, for not proceeding to trial according to notice, on an affidavit stating that the cause being duly noticed, the defendant issued and served subpoenas on his witnesses, after which the notice was countermanded.

Relies on Morse v. La Farge

Decided 1803-08-15

Per Curiam.

¶1The only question here is, who shall pay the expense. The plaintiff must certainly bear the charges of his own countermand; that and the notice are equally his acts; the expenses therefore incurred after notice, always fall to him, when he countermands. The judgment of nonsuit must, therefore, be refused, but the plaintiff to pay the defendant the costs of subpoenaing his witnesses prior to the countermand. [1]

¶2On payment of costs up to the countermand,

¶3Motion denied.

¶4Radcliff and Livingston, Justices, absent.

¶5 See 2 Rev. Stat. 618, sec. 36; Keys v. Beardsley, 18 J. R. 135; 2 Wend. 241; 1 Id. 97; Jackson v. Brown, 1 Cai. R. 484.
