PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION.

THE interval of seventeen years, which has elapsed since the first appearance of this work, has witnessed something like a revolution in the Procedure of what was once the High Court of Chancery. And in no branch of the practice have the changes introduced by the Judicature Acts, and The Rules of Court, been more marked than in that which forms the subject of the present Treatise.

Under such circumstances a New Edition of a work on the Law of Costs must, of necessity, partake, to a great extent, of the character of a new book. Every Rule of Court, and every decision of the High Court of Justice relating to Costs in the Chancery Division, will, it is believed, be found in this Volume. But, while a very large amount of entirely new matter has thus been added to the present Edition, no effort has been spared to render it more complete and useful by embodying in it every reported case bearing upon those portions of the original work which have been retained. The Precedents of Bills of Costs in

Appendix III. have been prepared by a gentleman of much experience in this branch of practice, to whom the Editors desire to express their thanks for his assistance.

The whole Volume is offered to the Profession in the hope that it may be received with the same generous indulgence which was so freely accorded to its predecessor.

July, 1882.
