1 How. Pr. 229

Clute v. Parker

New York Supreme Court

Decided September 15, 1845

New York Supreme Court · decided 1845-09-15

Motion by defendant to set aside capias for irregularity.— This was a motion to set aside the capias issued in this cause, on the ground that it was tested in the name of Samuel Nelson, Esq., Chief Justice, the first Monday of May 1845; whereas, at that time, Greene C. Bronson, Esq., was chief justice.

Decided 1845-09-15

¶1It was objected by plaintiff’s counsel, to payment of costs of this motion, that it was made since the new rules went into operation, and was made merely for the costs.

¶2It was answered that the writ was issued under the old rules; and the error having occurred under them, they should govern as to costs : that the 61st new rule did not apply.

Beardsley, Justice

¶3Decided that the old rules must control the costs, and allowed the writ to be amended nunc pro tunc, by inserting the name of the chief justice; the plaintiff to pay ten dollars costs of the motion.
