DIRECTIONS

IN REGARD TO PRINTING THE PROCEEDINGS IN INSTANCE CAUSES.

WHEREAS by the 96th rule of the rules orders and regulations for the High Court of Admiralty of England, which were confirmed by her Majesty's order in Council, bearing date the 29th of November, 1859, it is ordered, that "in all contested causes the whole of the pleadings and written proofs on which the parties intend to rely at the hearing shall, unless the judge shall otherwise order, be printed before the hearing; and the printing thereof shall be in such manner and form as the judge shall from time to time direct.”

Now, I, Stephen Lushington, doctor of laws, judge of the High Court of Admiralty of England, do in virtue of the powers vested in me, direct that in all causes instituted on and after the first day of January, 1860, in which the pleadings and written proofs are required to be printed, the manner and form of printing the same shall be as follows:I. In a damage cause each proctor shall cause his preliminary act to be printed, either with his proofs, if any written proofs are filed, or separately, if there are no written proofs, and the witnesses are to be examined viva voce in open court.

II. Words shall be printed in conspicuous type on the respective papers to denote whether they are the "pleadings," or the "plaintiff's" or "defendant's" proofs, or their "preliminary acts."

III. The printing shall be in pica type, with leads between the lines (4 to a pica thick), and the page shall be 40 ems wide, exclusive of marginal notes (if any), and 78 ems pica long.

IV. The paper on which the proceedings are printed shall be fine demy, weighing not less than 24 lbs. per ream.

V. The charges to be allowed on taxation for each sheet of four pages shall be as follows:

[merged small][merged small][merged small][merged small][ocr errors][merged small][ocr errors][ocr errors][merged small][ocr errors]

But in all cases where pica or small pica can be used for table-work, an extra charge for smaller type shall not be allowed on taxation.

VII. The prices mentioned above shall include all charges for printing, paper, folding, and stitching; and if a wrapper is required it shall be charged for as half-a-sheet. No charge shall be allowed on taxation for correction.

VIII. In printing any document which is divided into paragraphs, lines shall not be dropped, nor shall a space be left between the consecutive paragraphs; and if any such lines are dropped or spaces left, a deduction shall be made on taxation, as well in the printer's charges for printing, as in the allowance to the proctors for correcting the press.

IX. In case of any material error in the printing, or in case the printing shall not be done in the form and manner prescribed, either the parties shall be bound to reprint the proceedings, or a deduction ⚫ shall be made on taxation from the cost of printing, and no allowance shall be made to the proctor, by whom such printed papers are brought in, for correcting the press.
