Counsel

VAN BEUREN, (attorney-general,) and Root, for the plaintiff,, Sherwood, contra.

Paine v. Parker

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam»

The practice of the court of king’s bench, in England, is to allow the plaintiff to amend by changing the venue. It rests in the sound discretion of the court, and is not an ordinary motion to change the venue. Under the special circumstances disclosed in- this case, we think proper to allow the venue to be changed to the county of Albany.

Motion granted.
