Townsend v. Babcock
Townsend v. Babcock, 18 Wend. 334 (N.Y. Sup. Ct. 1836)
Summary
In this case, a motion for re-taxation of costs was denied without costs, and costs were refused, solely on the ground that the papers in opposition to the motion were unnecessarily voluminous. The judge observed that the court would pass upon the question, and not leave it to the taxing officer to determine what facts were necessarily stated.
