40 S.E. 1026 | S.C. | 1902
March 10, 1902. The opinion of the Court was delivered by
This appeal involves a construction of the judgment of this Court announced in a former appeal herein,
It is excepted by defendant, appellant, that the Circuit Court erred in holding that the judgment of this Court was merely administrative, and in requiring the cost of the case to be paid out of the money which it was adjudged should be paid to the defendant. We think appellant's exceptions must be sustained. The judgment of this Court on the former appeal was that defendant should execute the deed to plaintiff upon the payment by plaintiff to him of a specified sum, viz: $125; whereas, the judgment of the Circuit Court requires the defendant to receive a less sum, the balance of $125 remaining after the payment of the costs of the action.
The judgment of the Circuit Court is, therefore, so modified as to require the clerk of the Court to pay over to the defendant the whole amount of $125 which plaintiff has deposited or shall deposit with him pursuant to said order, without deduction of the costs of the action.
