M.*W. M2. REGtNA. V. GAMESON 553 [602] reports of casks argued and determined en tkr courts of exchequer and exchequer chamber, trinity term, 3 VrcToat-iE. rkgula g-eneralis. It is resolved by the .'udges, that when a Judge's Order is made a Rule of Court, it dhall he a part of the tiule of Court, that the coats of making the Order a rule of Court shall be paid by the party against whom the Order is made : Provided an affidavit be made and tiled, that the Order has been served on the party or his attorney, and disobeyed (see the case next reported). 27th May, 1840. [60S] RitiiiNA 11. gameson Exch. of Pleas. 1840.-Upon a Judge's order, clisohargiag a summons with costs, the costs were taxed and demanded, and not being pawl or tendered, the order was made a rule of Court.

On the 5th of February, 1839, I made an order, dismissing with costs a summons to amend the declaration, by inserting the defendant's true name at the plaintiff's costs. The costs of this order were taxed at 11. 7s., and an allocatur given fot that amount. Whether this order was served appears doubtful on the affidavits, but the defendant's agent attended the taxation of costs thereon. On the 14th of February, my Brother Alderson ordered all proceedings in the action to be stayed, oij payment 0f debt without costs, on the ground...
