DEARING v. TAYLOR.
    cause for setting aside a nonsuit must be shewn by affidavit or otherwise; a mere suggestion is not sufficient.
    When this suit was called, Lowry, the plaintiff’s attorney suffered a non-suit, & obtained a rule to shew cause why it should be set aside.
    Upon its being called again on one of the argument days, the plaintiff’s counsel suggested to the court several reasons for setting the non-suit aside.
   Per Curiam.

—The nonsuit cannot be set aside, without laying some ground by affidavit or otherwise upon which the court can proceed. The court cannot take the bare suggestions of the party.

Rule discharged.
