2 Watts 133

Guy v. Wilkeson

Supreme Court of Pennsylvania

Decided October 15, 1833

Supreme Court of Pennsylvania · decided 1833-10-15

This was an action on the case for defamatory words, in which James Wilkeson was plaintiff and Josiah Guy was defendant. The cause was arbitrated, and a report for the plaintiff for 6 cents damages, from which the plaintiff appealed and paid the costs of the defendant.

Decided 1833-10-15

Per Curiam.

¶1The judgment was not for more costs than dam- . ages, but to prevent the defendant from virtually recovering costs, by retaining them, to which he is proved by the event not to have been entitled when he received them. He was therefore justly compelled to refund.

¶2Judgment affirmed.
