XXXVI. ‘And whereas it would tend to the better Dispatch of Business, and would be more convenient, and better assimilate the Practice and promote Uniformity in the Allowance of Costs, if the Officers on the Plea Side of the Courts of King’s Bench and Exchequer, and the Officers of the Court of Common Pleas at Westminster, who now perform the Duties of taxing Costs, were to be empowered to tax Costs which have arisen or may arise in each of the said Courts indiscriminately;’ be it therefore enacted, That it shall be lawful for the Judges of the said Courts, or such Eight or more of them as aforesaid, by any Rule or Order to be from Time to Time made, in Term or Vacation, to make such Regulations for the Taxation of Costs by any of the said Officers of the said Courts indiscriminately as to them may seem expedient, although such Costs may not have arisen in respect of Business done in the Court to which such Officer belongs, and to appoint some convenient Place in which the Business of Taxation shall be transacted for all the said Courts, and to alter the same when and as it may seem to them expedient.
