BY THE ADVOCATES.
not easy to lay down any precise Rules respecting Fees to Counsel, inasmuch as the Amount must depend de Circumstances of each particular Case, with reference to its length, importance, and difficulty.
all undefended Cases, and in Matters of no great difficulty, one Counsel ought to be considered sufficient. bject 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.
z Fee to an Advocate where no Claim given
then a Claim given or Suit contested
asing, settling, and signing Libel, Claim, and Affidavit, Act on Petition, responsive Plea (or Replication) to Libel or. Act on Petition, according to the length or difficulty
sing, settling, and signing Interrogatories, Answers, &c., when the same do not exceed twelve folios in ength
ery additional fifteen folios to the extent of sixty
NOTE-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 get of Interrogatories should be prepared, generally applicable to all the Witnesses. *Consultation in any intermediate Stage of the Proceedings, should a necessity arise to resort to Counsel for
Advice, but this ought not too frequently to occur, and only in Cases of Difficulty
Motion necessarily made by Counsel before the Judge in the progress of a Cause
K
moving Condemnation in an undefended Case
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 ced the latter sum, unless where the proceedings are voluminous, or unusually important or difficult
