James Woodmansee, Appellant, v. John Kennicutt, Respondent.
   Judgment affirmed on che opinion of the county judge, (Richardson v. Northrup, 66 Barb., 85; Hoyle v. The New York Central, 28 Hun, 363.) Held, that it does not appear that the justice set off the costs of the judgment against the defendant, as against the costs in the judgment, in favor of the other defendant. The words u two dollars and twelve cents in favor of plaintiff ” bear no such construction. They may mean the balance going to the plaintiff after the justice ‘ has deducted his foes.
