    The plaintiff may move to strike out a plea as frivolous after he has demurred to it.
    
      A.' Taber, for the plaintiff,
    moved to strike out a plea as frivolous after it had been demurred to.
    
      R. L. Joice, contra,
    said the motion should have been made before the plaintiff demurred ; and that no precedent could be found for moving afterwards. But
   The Chief Justice granted the motion, observing that the point had been frequently decided.

Rule accordingly.
