188.--(1) On an application for leave to deliver interrogatories, the particular interrogatories proposed to be delivered shall be submitted to the court.
(2) In deciding upon such application, the court shall take into account any offer which may be made by the party sought to be interrogated to deliver particulars, or to make admissions, or to produce documents relating to the matters in question or any of them, and leave shall be given as to such only of the interrogatories submitted as the court may consider necessary either for disposing fairly of the cause or matter or for saving costs.
189. In adjusting the costs of the cause or matter, inquiry shall, at the instance of any party, be made into the propriety of exhibiting such interrogatories, and if it is the opinion of the taxing officer or of the court, either with or without an application for inquiry, that such interrogatories have been exhibited unreasonably, vexatiously, or at improper length, the costs occasioned by the said interrogatories and the answers thereto shall be paid in any event by the party in fault.
