This cause had been put off at the Circuit, on motion of the defendants on the usual terms of paying the costs of the Circuit; and, the costs having been taxed, on motion for re-taxation, the following items were held to be properly allowed as a part of those costs :
Dr. nisi prius record,fol. 4 and engrossing, $1 26
Enrolling pleadings thereon, fol. 225 at Is. 28 12
These were allowed, although the cause had once been carried down at a previous Circuit, when a nisi prius record was prepared.
The plaintiff was also allowed per folio for engrossing the defendants’ notice of special matter in their defence, upon' the nisi prius record.

Opinion:
But the Court refused to allow a charge for the notice of inquest, because there had once before been a notice of inquest, and an affidavit of merits was then filed; and they held that this extended to the cause throughout, so that afterwards, a notice of inquest was not proper; but only a notice of trial.
