70. (2) Notwithstanding subsection (1), one solicitor's bill of costs, including sheriff's fees and land registration fees, shall be payable to the creditor who has first attached by way of garnishment or lodged with the sheriff an attachment, execution or other process against the property of the bankrupt.

  70. (2) Despite subsection (1), one bill of costs of a barrister or solicitor or, in the Province of Quebec, an advocate, including the executing officer's fees and land registration fees, shall be payable to the creditor who has first attached by way of garnishment or lodged with the executing officer an attachment, execution or other process against the property of the bankrupt.
