Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., moved for a rule calling upon two
attorneys of the court to show cause why the Maater should
not be at liberty to review his taxation of costs ; why the
judgment, and an order upon which that judgment was
founded, should not be set aside, together with a subsequent
proceedings ; why they should not pay the coda of this mph.

davits. Lieut. -Colon' Dictum was the plaintiff in so action
tried in Jnoe hest in this court spinet Lord Wilton, Lord
Oomberniere, and General Peel. There was also a second
setae. against Lord Wilton alms, which ambit, however,
waa not tried. The action against Lord Combustor' and
others lasted several due, and resulted in a verdict for the
defendants epos all the issues. The attorneys against whom
the application was made were Linteeent-Colosel Diekson's
legal advisers for the prosecution of the actions which com-
menced so early as February, 1862. During the progress
of the snits the plaintiff paid to his *Moneys 81001. for die-
' korsensets. After the trial they met in their bill of coats
for 1,8151., which included charges amounting to 8331. da.
for disbursements in the action, including fees to
counsel, refreshers, be. The main ground of the motion
was that whim the bill was presented to the Master for
taxation 3851. of the 800/. for disbursements had been
charged in the bill of costs as paid by the &Moneys. Lieut..
Colonel Dickson at that time bad so reason to believe the
fees were not properly charged, and he offered no opposi-
tion to the taxatioe of the bill of costs, and the matter
was treated ex parte. Alter the tuatitio an application
was made to the late Mr. Justioe Wightman in order that
judgment might be signed upon the thator's tellocatioa.
It was granted en the 26th August, and was served
upon Lieuteunt-Colooel Dickson the same day at
his residence, No. 1, Stanhope-gate, and an appoint.
meet was made by the person who served
it that he should call on the antrum the following morning
about 11 o'clock. Lieutenant-Colonel Dictum left his resi-
dence in the morning for that purpose, but he had no sooner
got outside his door than he was arrested on a oa. en. issued
on the judgment, and he was take, into custody, where he
remained till the 7th or Bth of September, when he declared
himself a bankrupt, and he was discharged out of custody
by the COCOMMIIIiOOIIIt in bankruptcy. Various applications
were afterwards made to the court, but it was not till
towards the end of the mouth that Lieutenant-Colonel

Dickson icsewt7haithefeeefo;commel, ho ,i;d serer bees
paid, those' the attorseys had repaired the mosey for that
purpose. It was therefore by as impoeitios on the Master
that these:ousts were allowed.

of the &Moseys that offers had bees made to pay the (*un-

Dickson challenged them to perm. The learned counsel
then read extracts from a number of letters, from which it
appeared the mussel's tem ma the trial amounted to 65
guineas per day.—ltulegrasted.
