New York Supreme Court·Decided August 15, 1821·Published·Cited by 2 cases

Opinion

Per Curiam.

We never have gone so far, as to stay pro- ‘ ceedings in a cause in this Court, because the plaintiff had been nonsuited in another Court, and had not paid the costs. Though we might, perhaps, be inclined to adopt the rule of the English Courts, in regard to Courts of law, we certainly cannot, as regards the Court of Chancery, which has its own peculiar rules, and is not governed by the statute relative to costs.

Motion denied.
