THOMAS NELSON et at. . I

City and County of New York, ss. :

Edward B. Cowles, being duly sworn, deposes and says:

On or about the 1st July, 1875, the foregoing bill of costs, with notice of adjustment for sixth, was served upon plaintiffs’ attorney. Taxation of the same was subsequently adjourned to the ninth instant.

Pursuant to such notice, and on the ninth instant, this deponent duly appeared at the time and place therein specified, and made the following objection thereto, viz.:

To the taxation of three term fees for the year 1874, and two term fees for the year 1875.

This deponent objected to the taxation of more than one term fee per annum, on the ground that the court of appeals holds but one term during the year, its different sessions continuations of the same term after recess.

Deponent further says that he is to-day in receipt of the following decision of the clerk of Westchester county, before whom said costs were taxed :

Edwaed B. Cowles, Esq.:

MACY agt. NELSON.

Costs adj usted as presented, with one dollar off for copy of judgment, making amount $157.86. The Code certainly says there shall be four terms of the court of appeals in each year. J. M. Smith, (JlerTs.
