Taxing officers shall examine into justice of charges in bills of costs.
|
19. Upon all taxations of bills of costs, whether between party and party or between attorney and client, it shall be the bounden duty of the taxing officer, whether he shall be required so to do or not, and whether any objection shall have been made or not, to examine and ascertain, by all reasonable methods, that each and every charge in any bill of costs contained (whether such shall be a fee for counsel, solicitor, or officer of court, or stamp duty, or any other disbursement whatsoever, or any charge for business done by the person charging the same) is the proper charge which, under the circumstances of the case, ought to be made; and upon all such taxation the taxing officer shall determine upon all charges made by any officer of the Court of Chancery, and allow only such as shall appear to him made according to the true right of such officer respectively.
