The retainer did not authorize issuance of multiple periodical final bills; having regard to the retainer language promising interim bills with final reckoning, the bulk delivery of many bills, settlement by appropriation from costs on account prior to receipt, overlapping time periods and subsequent additions by later bills, the Further Bills were interim in nature and therefore susceptible to variation and taxation rather than binding final accounts.
