The Court thinks that it is important to maintain a consistent position in making up the issues of the case. Without passing upon the correctness of the conclusions reached by either Justice as quoted in argument the Court now concludes that the ruling of Justice O’Donoghue having been made in the instant case has become the law of the case; accordingly plaintiff’s demurrer to defendant’s plea to the third count of the declaration is sustained.
