Willard, J.,
concurred in the opinion so far as it related to the ordinary costs, but was in favor of reversing the judgment on the ground that the allowance of one hundred dollars was made by the court below as a matter of course and not of discretion.
Taggart, J.,
read an opinion in favor of affirmance, on the ground that the case was not within any of the provisions of title 10 of the Code of Procedure, and that the provisions of title 1 of chapter 10 of part 3 of the Revised Statutes was not necessarily repealed by section 303 of the Code of Procedure, but remained in force under section 471, and that under section 19 of the first title of the Revised Statutes referred to, the defendant Gardiner, who prevailed, was entitled to costs unless the court had certified that there was reasonable cause for making him a defendant.
The following resolution was then passed:
“Resolved, That the defendant Gardiner was entitled to costs as a matter of course, under section 305 of the code of procedure.”
Fo'r the resolution—Rttggles, Ch. J., Gardiner, Jewett, Johnson, Morse, Mason and Willard, JJ.
Against the resolution—Taggart, J.
Judgment affirmed
