costs be paid, or that he pay the costs within a given time Qr str¡clcen from the roll.

The attachment must take its course. We can-

not control its effect. But we order that the attorney pay these costs in ten days after notice of this rule, or that he be suspended from all practice as an attorney, till the costs be paid.

Rule accordingly.
