But the costs occasioned thereby shall be paid by the party entering such appearance, unless the Court shall otherwise direct.

XXVIII. That a party shall not be at liberty to enter such special appearance under the Twentyseventh Order, after the time limited by the practice of the Court for appearing to a Bill in the ordinary course, without first obtaining an order of the Court for that purpose, such order to be obtained on notice to the plaintiff'; and the party so entering such special appearance shall be bound by all the proceedings in the cause prior to such special appearance being so entered.

XXIX.
