4 Cow. 16

Jackson ex rel. Prindle v. Lytle

New York Supreme Court

Decided February 15, 1825

New York Supreme Court · decided 1825-02-15

S. Stevens, moved for a re-taxation of costs. Th The attorneys for the parties now submitted whether the defendant is entitled to these costs. They stipulated that the facts reported in 2 Cowen’s Rep. 442, S. C. be taken as a part of this case, (without affidavit;) by which it appears that the application to enter into the consent rule was granted without costs.

Decided 1825-02-15

Curia.

¶1We think the case riot distinguishable, in principle, from the ordinary one of allowing, in the final taxation, the costs of motions to change the venue, to refer the cause, or for a commission. If the party incurring these costs succeed, he recovers them as a part of the general costs in the cause ; upon the ground that it is necessary to move the Court. It is so in this case. The defendant must apply to the Court for leave to enter into a special consent rule. Had he been successful upon a trial, these costs would, therefore, be allowed; and a discontinuance of the suit is the same in principle, as to this question.

¶2Rule accordingly.
