He cannot be compelled to do so by mandamus. (Judges of Oneida C. P. v People, 18 W'end. 79.) ART. 2.--Costs in actions for chattels. Costs are allowed to the successful party as of course on a recovery in an action for the possession of personal property. (Code, 304, 305.)

(Ashley v. Marshall, 30 Barb. 426; 9 Abb. 361; 19 How. 110.) ART. 3.--Costs in actions for personal injuries. Costs are allowed as of course to the successful party...
