James Moore Wayne,
Bradstreet v. Potter — Opinion of the Court
“ In respect to costs upon cases brought to this court, the rule is, as may be seen in the 47th rule of the court prefixed to 8 Peters's reports; that in all cases of reversals of any judgment or decree in this court, except where the reversal shall be for want of jurisdiction, costs shall be allowed in this court for the plaintiff in error, or appellant, as the case may be, unless otherwise ordered by the court. The question as to costs in the circuit court is not before us. The judgment in the court below is reversed. ”
