Mr Hayllar said there were two sun. monses in this case which were fixed for to-day in Chambers. One was to strike out certain portion of the stawer as embar. rassing. In the other they were called upon to show cause why a day should not be fixed for trial, and why it should not be beard in vacation. They would on the second summons bare no cause to show. On the other summons he would have something to say.
