that in this Case there shall be no Larger or other Fees taken by any
Deputy Commissary than is by a former Act setled as to pauper

And whereas it is greatly Complained of to this present General

greatly multiply Fees by Entering unnecessary motions Petitions &
Orders Be it therefore Enacted by the Authority af^d by and with
the Advice and Consent af^d that in all Cases civil and Criminal
wherever any motions are made or petitions Tendered for any Order

no Entry shall be maid of them nor any Charge Either for Motion
petition or Order Unless it shall be particularly required by some
Party to the Matter and that then in such Case only the Party at
whose Request such Entry of Motion Petition or Order shall be
made shall be charged therewith and lyable therefore in such manner
as by this Act is directed and that the adverse Party shall be lyable
for the Cost of such Entry of motion Petition or Order
