ANDREW SOHER, Respondent, v. JAMES C. FARGO, Trustee etc., Appellant.
    
      Supplemental complaint—leame of court neaessa/ry to s&rve.
    
    The plaintiff in this action, four months after the service of the answer, served an amended summons and a supplemental complaint, without obtaining any leave of court, either ex parte or on motion. Held, that this should be set aside; that the right to serve a supplemental complaint is not an absolute one, but rests in the sound discretion of the court, and it cannot be served without leave of the court first obtained. •

      E. I. Andrews, for the respondent.
   Opinion by Brady, J.
