The Superior Court of New York City December 30, 1882 (Parker v. Speer)

By the Court.—Sedgwick, Ch. J.

—The current of precedent and of opinion among lawyers, is in favor of the position that, in actions in tort, under the conditions prescribed by the Code, when there is judgment for costs in favor of the defendant, the plaintiff may be taken by execution against his person. I of course accede to this and its consequences.
