A.M‘Gregor v. C. Loveland. The same v. John B. Arnet. The same v. The same.
    THIS was a question o£ practice, submitted to the decision of the court on the following statement:
    The above suits were brought on notes exceeding two hundred and fifty dollars each; afterwards a sum of money was paid, and security given by Loveland, the indorsor, by which the amount was reduced, below 250 dollars : cognovits were then given for the residue by each defendant. It was understood at the ■ time, by the defendant’s attorney, that the judgments should carry supreme court costs. Query. May not the clerk tax them accordingly ?
    
   Per Curiam.

No: the plaintiff should have taken his cognovit and entered his judgment for a sum above 250 dollars, to entitle to supreme court costs; they cannot otherwise be allowed,
