Double or treble costs
Double or treble costs have been frequently granted by statute, e.g., to successful defendants in actions for irregular distress, by the (English) Distress for Rent Act, 1737 (11 Geo. 2, c. 19), s. 20.

But the public statutes prior to 1842 which gave these costs were repealed by the (English) Limitations of Actions and Costs Act, 1842 (5 & 6 Vict. c. 97), popularly called 'Pollock's Act,' which enacted that the successful party should be entitled only to full and reasonable costs, to be taxed by the proper officer-an enactment repealed in its turn by the (English) Public Authorities Protection Act, 1893 (see that title)....
