1Opinion of the Court
Curia.
The plaintiff’s attorney must now stipulate, and pay the costs of the Circuit, but the defendant must pay the costs of this motion. Applications to this Court should cer tainly be discountenanced, where we cannot but see that the party mighthave taken the full efiectof his application without coming here.
