Opinion:
Per Curiam.
The serving of a notice of a judge's order is not sufficient; a copy of the order, at least, ought' to have been served.. But as there appears to have been a misapprehension about the practice in this case, the defendant may taire his rule, on payment of costs ; with liberty to the plaintiff to change the venue if he think' proper ; and if the venue be changed to the city and county of New York, that then the defendant take short notice of trial, which is four days.
Rule granted.
