¶1By the Court,

Nelson, J.

¶2The defendants in this case are entitled to recover costs, 2 R. S. 615, § 16, and I see no objection to the practice adopted by the defendants. A motion in open court for leave to enter judgment for costs would have been a matter of form, and would have created unnecessary expense. The motion to set aside the judgment is denied.*

¶3 Decided at special term, commencing 7th February.
