Sylvester Jacobs vs. Luther F. Potter & another.
    A writ of error will not lie to correct a mistake in the taxation of costs by the clerk: but the remedy in such case is by appeal.
    This was a writ of error to reverse a judgment of the court of common pleas, in favor of the defendants in an action brought against them by the plaintiff. The error assigned was, that other attendance had been allowed to the defendants in the taxation of the costs and in the judgment aforesaid against the plaintiff, than what had been actually performed by them or their attorney. The defendants pleaded in nullo est erratum.
    
    
      B. Russell, (with whom was B. F. Butler,) for plaintiff in error.
    
      G. F. Farley, for the defendant in error.
   By the Court.

The court are of opinion that a writ of error will not lie in this case. For any irregularity in the taxation of costs by the clerk, the remedy is by appeal.

Judgment affirmed.
