A rule bad been obtained in this case by Mr. Garth, call-
ing upon the plaintiff to show Cans, why the defendant
should not be et liberty to exhibit interrogatories cutler the
Common Law Procedure Act.
It appeared that the plaintiff woo a foreigner residing at
Daatsie, and the action had been brought for the breach of
a contract for the supply of timber. The defence was that
the plaintiff bad employed two egents,with whom the defend-
ant bad ootstrarded, and that the contract had either been
reminded by them or that the Umlaut had been supplied
them by the defendant. The feterrottetories were for the
purpose of ascertaining whether the plaintiff employed
theta agents to obtain the timber.
Mr. Rowley, in showing cause agaicet the rule. contended
that a foreigner residing abroad, out of the jurisdiction of
the court, would not, by becoming a plaintiff in an action in
this country, bring himeeli within the statute.
This case had bean partly armed yesterday, before Mr.
Justice Erle, who said the difficulty which aloe. wee that
the court would bays no power to enforce the order, unless
the plaintiff could be indicted fee reriory, committed in
making the affidavits sotoompanyi.g the interrogatories.

the subject, saying he would do thi some.
Mr. Justine Crompton said this morning that Mr. Justice
