New Rule in Supreme Court.

In the supreme court of Arkan- sas an important rule has been an- nounced in reference to oral argu- ments, being rule VI, as amended, as follows:
 'NWhere counsel on either side de- sire to make an oral argument in any cause, they shall notify the court of such intention on or before the day set for its submission, on which day the cause shall be submitted if ready, but the argument shall not be heard until the court shall be ready to consider the cause and shall have given notice to counsel on both sides of the day on which it will hear the argument.
 "Only two counsel will be heard for each party and not more than one hour will be allowed to each side for argument without special leave of the court, granted before the argument begins. The time thus allowed may be apportioned between the counsel on the same side at their discretion. Provided, always, that a fair opening of the case shall be made by the party having the opening and closing ar
 
 gument. The plaintiff in error or appellant shall be entitled to open and conclude the argument. But where there are cross-appeals they shall be argued together as one case, and the plaintiff in the court below shall be entitled to open and con- clude the argument"
