The Act 10 and 11 Vict. s. 69 does not deprive this Court of its jurisdiction to order taxation of a solicitor’s bill of costs for Parliamentary business. To entitle a client to an order for taxation of his solicitor’s bill of costs after the expiration of twelve months from its delivery he must shew either pressure or gross overcharge, amounting to what this Court designates as fraud. But it is not necessary to shew both.
