6 Hill & Den. 395

Shepard v. Hoit

New York Supreme Court

Decided April 15, 1844

New York Supreme Court · decided 1844-04-15

The ' defendant, having obtained a verdict, perfected judgment for costs against the plaintiff in August, 1842.

Decided 1844-04-15

By the Court, Beardsley, J.

¶1The defendant’s object cannot be effected by a suggestion on the record and a second judgment for these costs; (Dows v. Boughton, 3 Hill, 452;) and to amend the record now on file, by striking out the amount of the costs inserted in it and substituting the true sum, might lead to confusion. I see no objection, however, to talcing that record from the files and cancelling the docket; and then the defendant may file a new record for the full amount of his costs, to be settled by the taxation of a new bill.

¶2Ordered accordingly.
