Court | Missouri Supreme Court |
Parties | ST. LOUIS, K. C. & C. R. CO. v. LEWRIGHT et al. |
3. In such proceeding, the award of the commissioners appointed to assess damages was set aside on motion of plaintiff, and trial had by a jury to assess the damages. Held, that the taxing of costs of the proceedings, against defendant, accruing after the report of the commissioners was set aside, was matter of record, and not of exception, and will be noticed on appeal, though no bill of exception was filed thereto by defendant.
4. The action of the trial court in taxing costs that accrued after the report of the commissioners was set aside against defendant, and ordering that such cost be deducted from the amount allowed as damages on the trial by jury, was error, such costs being properly taxable against plaintiff.
