Jones vs. Williams and others, 4 Hill & Den. 34

By the Court, Bronson, J. It is now the settled practice to allow trifling mistakes of this kind to be amended on the motion to set aside the proceedings, and without putting the party to a cross motion for that purpose. As to costs, the principle contended for would enable these nine defendants to recover ninety dollars costs for an error of no great importance. It is enough to allow one bill. Ordered accordingly.
