It is not easy to lay down any precise Rules respeciing Fees to Counsel, inasinucli us the amount must depend upon the circumstances ot each particular case, with relerenct; \u its length, importance, and difficulty. In all undefended Cases, and in matters of no great difficulty, one Counsel ought to be considered sufficient. Subject to these observations, the following suggestions are made, for the guidance of the Proctor in feeing Counsel, upon matters which most frequently occur in the progress of a Suit: — Retaining Fee to an Advocate ------- For perusing, settling, and signing Information or Libel, Claim and Affidavit, Act on Petition, responsive Plea (or Replication) to Libel or Infor- mation, or Act on Petitiu.M, according to the length or difficulty For perusing, settling, and signing Interrogatories, Answers, &c. when the same do not exceed iv elve folios in length . - - - - For evei-y additional fifteen folios, to the extent of sixty - - - - NoTi;. — It should be understood, that in preparing Interrogatories for the cross-examination of Witnesses, they are not to be drawn separately for each Witness, to whom the same are to be administered ; but that, when practicable (as in most instances will be the case), one set of Interrogatories should be prepared, generally applicable to all the Witnesses. For a Consultation in any intermediate stage of the Proceedings, should a 1 1 1 necessity arise to resort to Counsel for advice ; but this ought not too fre(|uently to occur, and only in cases of difficulty - - - - For any Mo' ion necessarily made by Counsel, before the Judge in the pro- gress of a Cause --------. The Fee for the final Hearing must depend upon the length of the Evidence, and the importance and difficulties of the Cause ; but, in cases of no great intricacy, the Fee should be from three to five Guineas, and not to exceed the latter sum, unless where the Proceedings are voluminous, or muisually important or difficult ------ Sterl £. 2 ing Money, s. d. 2 1 1 4 to 4 1 1 I 1. 3 3 1 1 or 2 2 3 3 to 5 5 BY THE PROCTORS.
