Bailey vs. Hanford.
    In a case of reference, money paid for room-rent, fire and candles, on the hearing of the cause, is a proper item of taxation; the allowance in this case was one dollar per day.
    The question here was whether in a case of reference the prevailing party can, in his bill of costs, tax, as a necessary disbursement, money paid for the rent of a room occupied during the hearing of the cause, and for fire and candles; the amount actually paid was one dollar per day.
   By the Court,

Sutiierand, J.

I am of opinion that this is a proper item of taxation, and the amount paid in this case being moderate, should be allowed by the taxing officer.
