Nicklin v. Morrow

6 S.C.L. 474

Opinion

Smith., J.

The law, authorising the appointment of surveyors, in cases to try titles to land, says the surveyor shall give in his return on oath at the next court, but makes no requisition for his attendance afterwards. Therefore, in such cases, as in all others, if the party wishes the surveyor to attend the succeeding courts, he ought to have him under subpoena, otherwise he cannot claim costs for his attendance. I am, therefore, against the rule.

Justices Colcock, Bay, and Brevard
