Mr. F. Dizon (of Masars, Harlings and Hastings) appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. G. E. Morrill for the defendant.
Mr. Morrell raised s preliminary objection on the ground. That the writ was issued in the firm name, and on his applying for the names of the partners, in accordance with the Code, he received a letter from Mr. Dizon sisting that Allana was the sols partner. According to the Code and the White Book a person would be wued, but could not sae in his trade name. Therefore be applied to have the notion dis.

Mr. Dixon said he anticipated this preliminary objection. The writ was not issued by him, but "by his client, and the intake was a reasonable one to be made by a man who did not know the technical forms that must be complied with Under section 695 of the Code his Lordship had power to amend the writ. Plaintiff had not been embarassed in suy way by this technical mistake, and Mr. Dizon asked his Lordship for
leave to amend.
After further argument his Lordship gave loave to amend, but s'ated that, should the case end in favour of the plaintiff, coste would not be allowed up to the date of amendment.
