The E. Luckenback

19 F. 847, 1884 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 61

Opinion

Benedict, J.

The judge’s notes of the trial of this cause contain the memorandum, “stenographer takes notes.” This memorandum indicates a direction given at the time that the testimony given in court be taken down by a stenographer. A direction to that effect made in open court is sufficient. It was unnecessary to enter a formal order. The sum paid stenographer was therefore for services rendered in pursuance of a direction of the court, and, like the expenses of printing, (Dennis v. Eddy, 12 Blatchf. 195,) is taxable by the successful party.
