Head Matter:
T. HASKINS DUPUY, Respondent, v. CHARLES P. WURTS, Executor of the Last Will and Testament of MARTHA P. WURTS, Deceased, Appellant.
Metra allowance—power of court to grant.
The Supreme Court has power, under section 318 of the Code, to grant an allowance in appeals from the Surrogate’s Court, nor is this power affected by the fact that an allowance has already been granted in the case by the surrogate.
The case of Seguine v. Seguirte followed, and distinguished from the cases of Wolfe v. Van Nosirand and The People v. The N. T. Central B. B. Co. The latter cases hold that appellate courts cannot grant the allowance, because the statute gives the same, by way of indemnity, for the expense of the trial in the courts of original jurisdiction. But, by section 318 of the Code, the annellate court is, pro hoc rice, made the court of original jurisdiction.
Appeal from an order made by Mr. Justice Brady, on the 29th of December, 1873, granting a motion for an allowance to the respondent’s attorneys, and fixing such allowance at §1,000
8. P. Nash, for the appellant.
F. P. Coudert, for the respondent.
