Clapp v. Reynolds
New York Supreme Court
Decided October 15, 1801PublishedCited by 1 opinion
The plaintiff recovered 250 dollars debt, on a single bill, and also damages, for the detention, including interest as costs. The question was whether he was entitled to full costs.
1Per curiam
The plaintiff is entitled to full costs. The act deprives him of full costs, when he recovers a sum not exceeding 100 pounds, exclusive of costs. The recovery here exceeds that sum ; and in form as well as reality, the judgment applies to the damages as well as to the debt.
Judgment accordingly.(a)(a) See Grab. Prac. 2d ed. 717, et sea.
