Headnote

A complainant filing a judgment-creditor’s bill and failing to discover property, must pay costs on its dismissal.

Mr. O. Gridley for the complainants.

Mr. A. Williams for the defendant.

The complainant had 'filed a bill to discover property after the return of nulla bona to a writ of fieri facias issued uPon a judgment at law; and the defendant had answered denying property. There was also no proof; and the matter was reduced to a question of costs. The Vice-Chancellor decided, that as the object of the bill had entirely failed, it must be dismissed with costs.
