Mr. Commissioner Phillips was not sure whether when

ment, it was sot to be considered in possession of the insol-
vent. But he would not act on that point. The words of

Mr. Bramwell moved fors rule calling upon the plaintiff
to skew cause why he should not give notice of trial by the
15. h instant.
Tbii was an Wins arnn a pnliny of ineamune• off•stact
is
the Pho.ix office, on goods shipped to St. Hub*, and the
action was to have some on for trial at the sittings after lut
Trinity term. The matter was not tried but postponed,
and as the ease still stood in the paper for the sittings in
London, and as the plaintiff had not served notice of trial
the defendants were anxiou that the plaintiff should be
oompallei to give that notice by the 16th of this
month in order that they might send out by the
mail which left on the 16th instant, so that their witaseses
might be brought home in time for the trial. It was the more
necessary that this should be done from the fact that upon
the former occasion the defendant bad uselessly brought
over a number of witnesses at a heavy expense. finhee-
guiltily to that period the defendant had discerned that
the very same mail which had taken out his instructions for
the witnesses to be sent over to Bogland, had carried out
st tnructions from the plaintiff to stay the coming of his
witnesses. He also wished the rule to be framed in the
alternative,—either that the notice of trial should be served
on or before the 15th, or thAtth• trial of the case should be
postponed till the sittings after Trinity Term next: and fur-
ther, that the rule should be made returnable, so that the
plaintiff should show cause on the 13th or 16th inst.
Rate granted.
The remainder of the day was occupied in hearing cams
from the peremptory paper, all of which were of a technical
character.
