Providence any greater rights than" it previously had. The acquiescence and agreement between the parties amounted to nothing more than a recognition of both parties that the line f, g, was the boundary line between the two companies. There is nothing in the facts of this case which gives to complainant any right to extend that line, as a boundary line, any further than to point g, at which point it comes to the line g, h, which, as before stated, is the northerly end line of the Providence surface location, and beyond which, in a vertical line drawn downward, the complainant has no right to any part or portion of the "back" vein, either by virtue of the Provi· denee location, patent, act of 1872, or any agreement or estoppel between the parties. Let a decree be drawn designating the boundary plane fixing the rights of the parties in conformity with the views expressed in this opinion, for a perpetual injunction, and for an accounting, if so desired; each party to pay their own costs.

The cOmplainant claimed that. new amendment to the seventh rule expressly authorized,the expenses of both typewriter and stenographer to be taxed, in. llddition to the 20 cents folio fee of the examiner, and did not limit ,the amount of such expense, and that the effect of the s.tipulation was. to constitute the typewriter the attorney in fact of the witnesSj and authorize him to sign whatever he s40uldwrite down as the evidence of the witness. The defendant claiDled that the testimony filed was mere consent iq obvious avoidance of the sixtyevidence, and. that it was seventh rule,and was not entitled to be taxed under that rule or any other. That, it the attendance and tacit agreement of defendant's at that time managing the case concluded defendant from now objecting to the validity of the evidence, still the defendant was not concluded from now objecting that the examiner, who did not take down any testimony, 'and the typewriter who did take it down, were both entitled to .20 cents folio fee for doing the Bame work.
