The question whether the costs to be paid under the agreement were the taxable costs as between the complainants solicitor and his client, pr the taxable costs as between party and party, was one whiph it was no part of the duty o.f the taxing officer to decide; as the costs were not taxed under any order or decree of the epprt, but merely for the purpose of enabling the parties to carry into, effect their agreement. If the complainant’s solici.tpr therefore had ask? ed to have these bills pf cpsts taxed as between solicitor and client the yiep chancellor should have sp taxed them; stating in his certificate of taxation, that they were taxed as between, solicitor,arid plient, and not as betyyeep party and party. Hp should also have taxed them in that way; stating in his certificates o.f taxation the amounts of the respective bills in each mode of taxing them. This would have epabled the proper tribunal before which the question might afterwards come fo,r. a decision, to, determine whether the one amount or the other-was payable under the stipulation to compromise the suits.— I shall not therefore attempt to determine the question upon this appeal from the taxation, and upon ppnflicting affidavits, as to what that stipulation was, or whether the defendant is or is not bound to pay ail the taxable costs for which the complainant is liable to his solicitor. The case would be different if the costs were payable under an order or decree of the court, where it was necessdry to give a construction to such ordey or decree for the purpose o,f ascertaining wha| *54amount of costs were to be paid, and to enable the court to /enforce a compliance with such order or decree. 1 shall, therefore, proceed to ascertain what items in the bill of costs .objected to and allowed by the taxing officer, notwithstanding such objections, were properly taxable either one way or the pther.
It was objected that the costs in the original suit and upon the bill of revivor and supplement should all have been included in one bill of costs, so as to save the expense of double .charges for separate bills of costs, notices of taxation, &c. It is unnecessary to consider that question here, as one of these bills embraces the costs upon appeal, as to which this .court has decided that a separate bill of costs may be made .out and taxed. And the result is the same to the defendant, whether the whole costs are taxed in these two bills, in the form in which they were presented to the taxing officer, or the costs upon the appeal only are embraced in one bill, and all the residue of the charges are included in the other.
In the first bill, the charges for copies of will, deed and mortgage, to be annexed to draft of bill are not taxable, as they are charged and allowed in the engrossment and copies of the bill and schedules. And copies of schedules to be annexed to the draft are wholly useless. The original matter in the amended bill and affidavits annexed is only 48 folios instead of 141 as charged, and the remaining 93 folios should not have been taxed as for a draft, it being merely copied from the original bill; and the charge for schedules annexed to the draft should also have been disallowed. The charge for engrossing points was improper and should have been disallowed, and the copies are over charged. The copy of amended bill to serve, after the amendment had been allowed, and the amended bill filed was necessary and properly taxable. But a second copy to keep should not have been taxed, as the copy charged before the bill was amended was all that was necessary. With these deductions, the charges as taxed by the vice chancellor, from the charge for the draft of the proposed amended bill down to the notice of the argument of' fhe demurrer to the amended bill at the August term 1843, *55áre properly taxable as between solicitor and client. Bift none of those charges would have been properly allowable as' between party and party, as they were all rendered necessary in consequence of the neglect of the complainant to furnish his solicitor and counsel with all the necessary information to enable them’to draw the original bill right in' the first' instance.
The charge for attending a't the August term in 1842, toJ argue the demurrer to the amended bill, was not taxable, as no allowance is-made by the fee bill iñ this court-for attending- to argue a cau'se when it is not reached. And the charge for solicitor’s fee on order to refer the cause when it was referred by the court upon calling over the calendar for that purpose, was not taxable. Nor is the solicitor entitled to charge for the propo'sed decree to be entered upon the argument of ademurrer. That is only necessary or proper where there is' something special in the case requiring a draft of the decree which the solicitor supposes his client entitled' to; for the purpose of enabling the court to' determine the relief which it may be proper to grant'. But no such information is necessary on the argument of a demurrer; as the demurrer is disallowed of course and the defendant is required to answer the' bill if the complainant succeeds upon the argument. The charge for the solicitor and counsel fee at November term' 1842, was also improperly allowed, as the case was not argued, and the' charge is too much even- if the demurrer had' been argue'd at that time. The charges fot copies of bill of costs and for the taxation are all too high ; as the sums charged are only allowable after a decree in the cause. But here' had been no decree, and these services should therefore have' been taxed at the lower rate as fixed' by the fee bill before' decree. The charge for the engrossment of the amended bill was properly rejected by the taxing officer; as he had allowed for an engrossment of the proposed aménded bill, and that was all that was necessary or proper to charge. The' hill of costs in the first suit must therefore be taxed at $276-,-' 89, as between the solicitor of the complainant and his client and at $143,10 as the amount at which it would be taxable' *56hetweeh the colhplüinant and ihe defendants if there had beb'ri a decree for costs in his favor against them, of the taxable hosts as between party arid party.
íhe first objection to the bill of costs in the second of tile fiboVe Entitled causes, is that retaining fees are not allowable lipón a bill of revivor and stipplement. Upon a mere supplemental bill, which is not a sbpplemental suit; against the same parties I think new retaining fees for the solicitor and counsel are hot taxable. But where the suit has abated by the death óf a party; and a new bill is necessary not only to revise the suit against the heifs of representatives of the decedent and to bring new interests and neW matter of litigation before the court, ás ih this cade, retaining fees ought to be allowed. Blit for the reasons before stated the copies of schedules to be aiine^ed to the draft of the bill should not have been allowed; The charge for attending the vice chancellor out of term tipo’n petition for a temporary injunction! Was properly allowed, as the fee bill gives to tlie solicitor one dollar for such servide. Btit that charge is not taxable Where the injunction is allowed by the vice chancellor in the character of an injunction master merely, arid not in the discharge of his duty as the judge of the court; In this case I think the vice chancellor had no authority to allow the temporary injuriction uporl petition except as having authority to' make the order as a court; The charge for allowing the injunction must therefore b’e disallowed. The' charges for the' several copies of the bill of revisor and supplement to be' served upon the parties With notices of the motion for leave to file such bill, and for an injunction to be founded thereon, appear to have been necessary and proper according to the' practice of the COtirt in such cases. But as the notices are Subsequently charged and allowed, the draft of notice arid one folio in addition to each dopy of the bill, should have' been disallowed; The charge for draft and engrossing and c'opies Of points for the court weté properly disallowed as riot required rto be furnished U'pon special motion, by the rules and practice of the court. And for the same reason the charges for a copy of the hill of revivor and supplement foi *57[he court upon- the motion, and the four succeeding charges! of the same character should also have been disallowed.
Although a copy of the supplemental bill proposed to be filed had been served upon the defendant Thompson with notice of the application for leave to file the same and for an injunction, the service of another copy of the bill upon him after it had been filed was probably necessary to prevent a dissolution of the injunction under the 35th rule of the court, and to compel the defendant to answer. The charge for such copy was therefore properly allowed Upon the taxation; and the charges for the copies of papers furnished to the court upon the appeal were also' proper. But the copies of points for the court and counsel were charged at fourteen cents a copy instead of seven. The taxing officer should therefore have deducted one half of the entire charge for copies. This chdrge for granting order for time tci' apply was not taxable, as no such allowance is found in the fee bill in this court. The solicitor having been allowed a gross sum for his costs in resisting a motion to vacate the order reviving the suit, which sum had been paid, the clerk’s fees for marking his papers on that motion wfefe included in that gross sum and ought not to have been allowed a second time.
The charges for solicitor and counsel attending to argue demurrer at the time at which the cause was settled, should have been disallowed; as the cause was not argued and the solicitor did not in fact attend the court. Nor wfeie the copies Of papers furnished to the counsel for the argument taxable; The party demurring was -bound to furnish the necessary copies for the court, and copies of the pleadings, &c. for coutó5 sel were not taxable. Some other charges have also been allowed in this bill, which I have, in relation to the other bill, already decided to have been improperly allowed; Or charged too high, and they must be corrected accordingly. The' charge for filing papers on the motion to striké the answer from the files, and the three succeding charges, aré embraced in the gross allowance for costs on that motion and were alsd for services which were doné after the compromise of the suit; and must be disallowed. But as most of the services *58émbracéd in the allowance of $15 for the costs of that motion' must have occurred before the suit was settled, as much as' ten dollars of that gross sum must therefore be allowed.
There does not appear to be anything in this bill which is properly taxable as between solicitor and client which is nof also taxable as between party and party. After making allthe proper deductions therefore this bill must be declared to be taxed between party and party at $267,46. And neither party is to have costs as against the other upon this ap plica-' tion.
