Head Matter:
Rudd and Everett, executors of Cable, against Long.
Executors and •» dministrators r.aust pay costs o n a judgment of 3i on-pros.
A JUDGMENT of non-pros having been entered against the plaintiffs in this cause, it was submitted to the court, whether, as executors, they were bound to pay costs.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
It is well settled, that an executor or administrator must pay costs, on a judgment of non-pros. (3 Burr. 1584—1586. Tidd's K. B. Prac. 898. 6 Term, 654.) It is the default of the plaintiffs, and they ought not to be exempted, in such a case, from the payment of costs.
