Jones qui tam, versus Ross.
THIS cause was set down for trial. Ingersoll, for the plaintiff, moved for liberty to amend the declaration, and stated it as a settled practice, even in qui tam actions.

We cannot oppose the amendment, but we ask no imparlance. The plaintiff may amend at the bar, and we will go on to trial immediately.
