Taxing officer shall ascertain actual payment to counsel, &c.
|
48. Before allowing any sum claimed in any bill of costs as a fee or payment to any counsel or to any officer of the said courts, the taxing officer shall require to see the documents necessary to ascertain that such counsel has been so employed and has received such fee, and that the fee or payment to such officer has been the right and proper fee, and has been paid where such document can conveniently be produced; and if it shall appear on the examination of any such bill of costs, or otherwise, that any one charge, either for counsel, attorney, officer, or stamp duty, hath been united in any such bill of costs with any other charge in one sum, then such united charges shall altogether be disallowed.
