The lowest fee in practice allowed at Chambers in England (all matters other than Summonses for time to answer, Amend Bill & so forth being unopposed or almost of Course) is 13/4 — other attendances up to £2.2.0. Judges (lest giving a certificate for the fee above 6/8) - Recently the judges Chief Clerk was empowered by general order to give a Solicitor, with the sanction of the judge, an extra special fee of ten guineas if he got up his case well.
The reason for the allowance to be certified by the judge.
The fees at Chambers in England see 5th order of 23rd October 1852 (not extended to this Colony) are much more liberal, than those proposed, and the order has been most liberally construed, as the fees were considered inadequate by the profession.
e.g. 5/4 instructions for summons, 13/4 to get it sealed, 6/8 to file Duplicate. The proposed fees would give for the same in Hong Kong $3.0 or 12/0 instead of £1.6.8.
