Head Matter:
John Garrick et al. v. Angie P. Chamberlain.
At Ottawa, March Term, 1881.
Rehearing—second petition by the same parly. A second petition for a rehearing of a cause'in this court by the same party is not allowable.
Appeal from the Appellate Court for the First District.
Upon the rendering of a decision in this case at a former term of this court, the appellee filed a petition for a rehearing, which was fully considered, and denied. Now a second petition for a rehearing is filed by the same party. The appellants move that it be stricken from the files.

Opinion:
Scott, J.:
There is nothing in the rules, or in any practice that has ever prevailed in this court, that would authorize a second petition by the same paity for a rehearing. A majority of the court are therefore of opinion that the motion made to strike what purports to be a second petition for a rehearing from the files, should be allowed, and it is accordingly done.
Petition stricken from the files.
Dickey, Ch. J.: I do not concur in the opinion of the majority of the court.
