Owens v. Hagenbeck-Wallace Shows Co.

12 R.I. Dec. 138

Superior Court of Rhode Island·Decided April 13, 1935·No. No. 93476·Published

Opinion

POULIOT, J.

This matter is before the Court on plaintiffs’ motion to have allowed, as costs, the rental fee of a certain motion picture exhibited to the jury, amounting to $127.50.

Without expressing its opinion as to the value of this exhibit, the Court feels that it cannot conscientiously allow more than three days’ rental at $7.50 per day, or a total of $22.50, this being for two days’ transportation from Cleveland, Ohio, and return, and one day’s use in Providence.

The Court, therefore, allows $22.50 to be taxed as costs for this item.
