If a client, having paid his solicitor’s bill of costs, without pressure or undue influence, wishes afterwards to have it taxed, he must state in his petition, and prove by evidence, that the bill contains such grossly improper charges as furnish evidence of fraud; and the petition must point out the particular items to which that description applies, and those items must be proved by evidence to answer the description.
