The court held that the estate should not bear the plaintiffs' costs because the litigation was inevitable given the plaintiffs' conduct, but Henry personally conducted and defended the action beyond what was necessary and unreasonably protracted the proceedings; accordingly Henry was joined for costs and ordered to pay 20% of the plaintiffs' costs (to be taxed if not agreed), while no costs were ordered against the estate and each party bears their own costs of the summonses.
