1. This is a review under O.62 rule 33 of the Rules of the Supreme Court, 1967, with regard to items numbered 7, 30, 31, 33, 39, 45 and 46 of the Petitioner's bill of costs that was taxed by me on the 31st July, 1970. Item 7. The Petition is a very simple one alleging adultery and is only two pages long. A fee for settling such a petition in England would be £3 5s. 6d. Having regard to local conditions I allowed a fee of $150. I consider that a fee of $250 is excessive and unreasonable.
