The judge held that costs incurred to calculate and justify the plaintiff's claimed deductions were not costs properly recoverable as 'of and incidental to' an interpleader because the correctness of the amount retained is not adjudicable in interpleader proceedings; the taxing master acted within discretion and applied correct principles; none of the recognised exceptions to interference on review applied, therefore the master's taxation stands and the review is dismissed.
