Head Matter:
Fitzroy against Card and others.
A copy of the affidavit on which a special motion is founded, must be served on the opposite party.
A motion was made for judgment, as in case of nonsuit, for not proceeding to trial, on the usual affidavit; but no copy had been served on the opposite party.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
It is a rule of practice, without exception, that whenever a special motion is to be made, founded on an affidavit, a copy of such affidavit must be regularly served on the opposite party.
Rule refused.
