Sutherland, J.
I think the word slander, as used iti the 2d proviso of the 4th section of the statute of costs, was intended to include libel.
Savage, C. J.
Slanderous words are spoken of in the 6th section of this statute, as distinct from slander, which is excepted from the operation of the 4th section.
Woodworth, J.
I have known several instances of actions for libels, with very trifling verdicts, in which the right to full costs was not drawn in question.
Motion denied.
