The Solicitor-GeneralThe costs of private litigants who are not legally aided are a matter for them. The only calculation which will be made of the Official Solicitor's costs in connection with the case of Midland Cold Storage Limitedv. Turner and others will be as to his disbursements in the form of fees to counsel. These have not yet been settled.
