Crane v. Comstock

11 Johns. 404

Opinion

Per Curiam.

The act concerning costs, as it now stands, (1 N. R. L. 343. sess. 36. c. .6.) does not authorize a certificate that the trespass was wilful and malicious.(a) The plaintiff, to eufiilu himself co costs, must recover above the sum of fifty dolsars> Im*ess freehold, or title to the land, comes in question. The recovery, therefore, being under fifty dollars, the defendant is entitled to costs.
