Chap. 0264 An Act relating to costs in civil actions.

Be it enacted, etc., us follows:

Section 1. Parties recovering costs in civil actions in the supreme judicial court or in the superior court, shall be allowed but three term fees in any action unless allowed by order of the court; but if the action or any question therein is earried to the full bench of the supreme judicial court, two additional term fees may be allowed.
Section 2. When an action is brought in any county containing two or more shire towns, the court may at the term of entry designate the shire town in which the same shall be tried; and it shall not then be put on the trial list, nor shall costs be allowed for terms held in any other town than the one so designated, unless the action is actually tried in such other town by agreement between the parties to the suit.
Section 3. This act shall take effect on the first day of July in the year eighteen hundred and eighty-two.
