Head Matter:
Surviving Partners of Auley McNaughton & Co. v. Lester.
The Plaintiff produced a notice of taking a deposition, purporting I hat the. deposition would be taken on a certain day iu Housertown, before Justices, naming them.. The caption of the deposition expressed that it was taken on that day at Housertown.

Opinion:
Per curiam
The deposition cannot he read. The house where it is to be taken must be specified in the notice,, not the town only ; for then the deposition may be taken at a place ¡11 the town, of which the adverse party may know nothing, and thus he deprived of the benefit of cross-examination.
