Mr Joynt, for the defendant, appeared to apply for an order directing interrogatories to issue herein. Mr George Harper, contra, opposed, on the ground that interrogatories would intercept the going to trial with the cause. After argument by learned counsel, Mr Harper said he was so wishful to get the caae for trial, that he would undertake to accept the interrogatories, and answer them in twentyfonr hours instead of the usual eight days. Mr Joynt pointed out that a cros9 action had been brought by the defendant in this case against the present plaintiffs to get an injunction to restrain the present plaintiffs from proceeding with this action. His Honor pointed out that if Mr Joynt allowed the issues proposed by Mr Harper to be settled now and the case got ready for trial, he would be in this position that if the verdict was in his favor there would be no need to goon with the action; en the other hand, the action being pending would stay execution until the cross action was heard. After further argument, His Honor said he would grant Mr Joynt'a order to issue interrogatories, and he would also grant Mr Harper's motion for settling issues and fixing time and place of trial.
