The appeal is dismissed because established authority and principle hold that a personal representative who brings proceedings is personally liable for costs absent a special order; the personal representative's right to be indemnified from the estate does not protect third parties from enforcing costs against the representative; the judge properly exercised discretion under rule 203 and the absence of section 61 permission did not invalidate the proceedings against the appellant.
