Head Matter:
Bridget Connorton v. William Miller et al.
Costs — Refusal to dismiss appeal.
Non-payment of costs imposed on refusing to dismiss an appeal is no ground for another motion to dismiss if the refusal was not conditioned on payment.
Costs are presumed to be secured by the appeal bond.
Motion to dismiss appeal.
Submitted and denied June 8.
A motion to dismiss the appeal made at a former term was denied, but costs were given to the moving party.
A motion is now made to dismiss on account of non-payment of the costs then granted. It was shown in answer that the full costs have been tendered with $5 additional, but the moving party claims that he is entitled to more for his trouble in the matter.
B. T. Prentis for the motion.
If. G. Wisner against.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
We did not make the payment of costs a condition of retaining the appeal, and their non-payment -is no ground for a new motion. It is presumable that the appeal bond will fully provide for such liability. We think also that the party had no ground for refusing the tender made.
This motion will be denied without costs to either party.
