Church v. Clason & Stanley

The English consolidation rule is the. one the court mean to insist on, and they will not permit the plaintiffs to prescribe to them any other.

Let the defendant take the effect of his motion.

The plaintiffs then applied for a rule to examine witnesses, de bene esse, in the one cause which stood open for trial $ but the court refused it, observing, that they were entitled to no indulgence, till they had first acceded to the terms already required.
