1Opinion of the Court
Hand, Justice.
The costs on postponing a cause at the circuit, can not exceed $10, besides the fees of witnesses (Code, §314).
Mitchell agt. Westervelt, does not apply. In that case, the verdict rendered upon the trial, and the judgment, were set aside upon payment of the costs of the circuit, &c>
But in the case now before us, the costs are limited by statute to. ten dollars.
