Opinion:
By the Court.
Corporations, not such in virtue of their * locality, as towns, parishes, &c., as they have no [ * 459 ] particular place of residence, and the corporators are not such in right of their place of abode, are not entitled to tax costs for their travel.
[Corporations of all kinds are usually established by law in some particular place. — Ed.]
