HIS EXCELLENCY the Officer administering
the Government has directed the pub-
lication of the following Order of Her Majesty
in Council, establishing a reduced rate of Fees
in Appeals heard by the Judicial Committee of
the Privy Council, together with an Order made
by that Committee transferring the Taxation of
Costs from the Masters of Her Majesty's Courts
at Westminster, to the Clerk of Appeals of the
Privy Council Office.

By His Excellency's Command,
(For the Colonial Secretary,)
WILLIAM CONNELL.

At the Court at Buckingham Palace, the 11th
day of August, 1842.

PRESENT.
THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY
IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS there was this day read at the
Board, a Representation from the Ju-
dicial Committee of the Privy Council, dated
the tenth August instant, and in the words
following, viz.-

"The Lords of the Judicial Committee hav-
ing taken into consideration the scale on which
the costs of Appeals, and other matters referred
by your Majesty to this Committee, are usually
taxed by the Masters of the Court of Queen's
Bench, or other persons to whom their Lordships
have, from time to time, referred the same;
their Lordships agree humbly to represent to
your Majesty, that it is expedient that the scale
of Costs hitherto allowed in the said proceedings
before this Committee, should be reduced; and
their Lordships recommend that, provisionally,
and until further consideration, such costs in all

Appeals, or matters not being Appeals, from the
Courts of Ecclesiastical or Admiralty Jurisdic-
tion, should be taxed and allowed by all such
taxing officers as shall hereafter be directed to
ascertain and report the same to the Board, ac-
cording to the Schedule hereunto annexed; and
that this rate of charges should be observed by
Solicitors conducting business before this Com-
mittee."

Her Majesty, having taken this representation
into consideration, was pleased, by and with the
advice of Her Privy Council, to approve thereof,
and of what is therein recommended, and to
order, as it is hereby ordered, that the same be
duly and punctually observed, complied with,
and carried into execution. Whereof all per-
sons whom it may concern are to take notice,
and govern themselves accordingly.
