Green for the company argued that there was no
improperly in reviewing the decision of Judge Truax,
which had been made without notice to the company.
II the company had had opportunity Of being heard
by counsel perhaps the permission would not have been

He elso claimed that tho order Of Judge Truax
was irregular because the papers upon which 1t had
been made had been filed with the Clerk OF the Court
II was further irregular because the application for 1t
had not been made by tho Attorney General, but by
counsel employed by him. Moreover, the order had
been rashy and improvidently given.
