Head Matter:
In the matter of Arthur Carey, a lunatic.
J. S. Frost, for petitioner.

Opinion:
Application for an extra allowance of costs, upon the execution of a commission of lunacy, beyond the maximum fixed by the 162d rule. Decided that the expense of getting the solicitor's bill of costs taxed, in such a case was unnecessary where the solicitor intends to claim over $50; as the court must in every such case examine the bill of costs for itself to see what necessity there is, for any extra allowance. Order allowing the payment of $606, in addition to the $50, but nothing more.
