De Hart against Covenhoven.
    A reference of a cause will not be granted, if it appears that law questions will arise.
    Bogardtjs, for the plaintiff, moved for a reference of this cause, on the usual affidavit.
    
      Morton, contra,
    read an affidavit, stating that several important questions of law would arise in the cause.
   Per Curiam.

As the trial will involve the decision of law questions, the motion must be denied.
