Head Matter:
Provost vs. Johnson and others.
On receiving a cassetur billa vel crece, a defendant may at the next term file the same, and enter a rule in the common rule book for judgment for costs.
After a plea in abatement in this cause, the plaintiff served the defendants’ attorney with a cassetur billa, who at the next term filed the same, and entered a rule in in the common rule book for judgment for costs. The plaintiff moved to set aside such judgment.
March 19.

Opinion:
By the Court,
Nelson, J.
The defendants in this case are entitled to recover costs, 2 R. S. 615, § 16, and I see no objection to the practice adopted by the defendants. A motion in open court for leave to enter judgment for costs would have been a matter of form, and would have created unnecessary expense. The motion to set aside the judgment is denied.
Decided at special term, commencing 7th February.
