Case No. 13,403.
    STEVENS v. LLOYD et al.
    [1 Cranch, C. C. 141.] 
    
    Circuit Court, District of Columbia.
    Nov. Term, 1803.
    Judgment — Forthcoming Bond — Costs—Practice at Law.
    If a forthcoming bond has. by mistake, been given for a sum less than the judgment, it may, on the plaintiff’s motion, be quashed, as well as the execution issued thereon, upon paying the costs of the motion.
    [See Case No. 13,402.]
    Notice was given to this day of a motion for judgment on a forthcoming bond.
    Mr. Swann, for plaintiff,
    moved to quash the bond and execution — the execution having been issued without including costs, by an error of the clerk, in supposing that judgment for $13 in assault and battery would not carry the costs.
    Mr. Youngs, for defendants,
    prayed that it might not be quashed without costs of the motion.
    Quashed, at the plaintiff’s costs.
