Maxwell v. Bay City Bridge Co.

51 N.W. 963, 42 Mich. 67, 1879 Mich. LEXIS 702

Opinion

The Court

held that the affidavit for the taxation of costs was not sufficiently specific to support the items objected to, under Comp. L., § 7425, which provides that “when there shall be charges in a bill of costs for the attendance of any witness, or for copies or exemplifications of documents or papers, or for any other disbursements, except to officers for services rendered, *■ * such charges for copies shall not be taxed without an affidavit that such copies * * were necessarily obtained for use; nor shall such disbursements be-allowed without an affidavit specifying the items thereof particularly, nor unless they appear to have been necessary and reasonable in amount.”

Eetaxation was accordingly ordered.
