CATHARINE V. SNOOK, Executrix vs. ELIZABETH MUNDAY.
    
      Appeal—Costs of Unnecessary Matter.
    
    After an appeal was taken from an order of the Orphans’ Court, another appeal contained in another record, was taken from an order refusing to rescind the first order. In the record of the second appeal certain documents were again inserted, although a distinct record was not necessary. Held, that although judgment is for the appellant, yet each party will be required to pay one-half of the costs in this Court.
    
      Appeal from an order of the Orphans’ Court of Washington County dismissing a petition asking for the rescission of an order for the sale of the property referred to in this case.
    The cause was argued with the preceding case.
    (Decided February 15th, 1900).
   Boyd, J.,

delivered the opinion of the Court.

It follows from what we have said in the preceding case between these parties, that the order of the Orphans’ Court of Washington County, passed on the ioth day of November, 1899, must be reversed. But as there was no occasion to have the petition of Elizabeth Munday and the copy of the will of John Munday inserted in the record in this case, as they were in the other record, each party will be required to pay one-half of the costs in this Court, including the costs of the copy transmitted to this Court, the costs below to be paid by the appellee. There was indeed no necessity to have two records.

Order reversed, each party to pay one-half of the costs in this Court, the appellee to pay the costs in the lower Court.
