cedure, 1856, is hereby revoked, and the following
substituted-

“ Either party may, by leave of the Court or a
Judge, plead and demur to the same pleading at the
same time, upon an affidavit by such party, or his
solicitor, if required by the Court or Judge, to the
effect that he is advised and believes that he has
just ground to traverse the several matters proposed
to be traversed by him, or that the several matters
sought to be pleaded by way of confession and avoid-
ance are respectively true in substance and in fact,
and that he is further advised and believes that the
objections raised by such demurrer are good and valid
objections in law; and it shall be in the discretion of
the Court or a Judge to direct whether the issues of
fact or of law shall be first disposed of. [15 and 16
Vict., c. 76, s. 80.]

Time for Moving for New Trial.
Rule 2.-(1.) In all cases where the Judge at the trial
shall reserve leave to either party to move for a new
trial, or to enter a verdict, or in arrest of judgment,
or to the plaintiff to move for judgment as in case of
nonsuit, the Judge shall specify the time at or within
which the motion shall be made.

(2.) If no leave be granted at the trial, every such
motion must be made at the first practicable sitting
in Banco, not being less than three days after the
conclusion of the sittings of the Circuit Court at
which the trial took place; and if there be no such
sitting within fourteen days after the trial, then the
motion may be made before, and a rule nisi granted
or refused by, a Judge at Chambers within such
fourteen days: Provided that such motion may be
made after the expiration of fourteen days from the
trial, if the Judge shall be satisfied, by affidavit or
otherwise, that such motion could not with reasonable
diligence have been made at an earlier period.

(3.) A rule nisi granted on any such motion shall,
upon being duly served upon the party thereby called
upon to show cause, operate as a stay of proceedings
till cause be shown, unless the Judge granting it
shall otherwise direct therein.

Rule 3.-Rules nisi, and summonses calling on
parties to show cause at Chambers, shall contain a
short statement of the grounds on which they are
moved: Provided that the Judge may, in his dis-
cretion, make a rule absolute, or an order upon
summons, on grounds other than those mentioned in
the rule nisi or summons.

Rule 4.--A Judge at Chambers may exercise any
power granted by Statute or Rule to the Court, or
to the Court or a Judge thereof, other than powers
which are expressly provided to be exercised in open
Court, and may adjourn the hearing of matters in
which he has such power from Court to Chambers,
or from Chambers to Court.

A Judge may, on summons at Chambers, grant a
rule nisi directing cause to be shown in Court; and
on motion for a rule nisi in Court, he may direct
cause to be shown at Chambers.

Settling and Reading Minutes of Degree.
Rule 5.--A Judge on making a decree in open
Court may direct the minutes thereof to be settled
and read in Chambers before the decree shall be
drawn up.

Affidavits in Answer.
Rule 6.--Upon motions founded upon affidavits, it
shall be lawful for either party, with leave of the
Court or a Judge, to make affidavits in answer to the
affidavits of the opposite party upon any new matter
arising out of such affidavits.
