With respect to the latter part of the

4415 Rule:

This proposes to introduce a

positive and inflexible rule as to the

Costs of

Interlocutory proceedings which

differs entirely from the Rule that exists on

the subject in the Court

We think

the subject is proper to

be in conformity to

that statute and

the principle of reciprocity.
