Before proceeding to call the roll of cases,
the chief justice called the attention of the
attorneys present to the rule of the court in
cases where notice of action is not fled in
time for the case to go upon the calendar.
He wished to remove the misrepresentation
that the mere consent of parties in the suit
would entitle it to be inserted.
The rule Of the court was, that where the
State is party to q suit, such suit
can be entered with the consent of both
litigants, but in other instances the court
will only admit case to the calendar where
| both good excuse is shown for the failure
to give notice and it is convinced that delay
would be exceedingly detrimental to the in
terests of the parties.
