IN the year 1815, Mr. FROST appeared in public print 

 as the author of a pamphlet, entitled " Considerations on 

 " the propriety of making a remuneration to Witnesses in 

 " civil actions, for loss of time, and of allowing the same on 

 " the taxation of costs, as between party and party ; with some 

 " observations on the present system of taxing costs." The 

 design of this publication was to obtain (proper remune- 

 ration to witnesses in civil actions, for their loss of time, 

 being essential to the ends of justice) from the Judges of 

 the Court of King's Bench, a rule, by which so desirable an

 the Yorkshire Law Society to the Court, entreating for such a 

 rule, but without effect. There is reason, however, to believe, 

 that, in the system of taxing costs by the Masters, with one 

 of whom Mr. Frost had a long correspondence on the 

 subject, it had a beneficial effect. It produced much dis-
