MILAN against Charles Mcmillan is to be re-
tried from beginning to end including the
side issue as to alimony. Contrary to general
opinion, the parties to the action, both of

gally man and wife. The late Judge Nc
Cluer took the testimony, and at length asked
that an order be drawn up giving judgment

sent, nor did he authorize his attorney, j. n.
Castle. TO consent, and that in fact his attor-
ney did not consent In court Yesterday af-

recited, and thereupon Judge Crosby refused
jerks application TO have the objectionable
part of the order modified or stricken out.
