¶1But
¶2—We cannot in this way enter into a consideration of the merits of another action. Nor ought we upon so slight a foundation to grant a rule to shew cause; for such rules by the delay which they occasion, are frequently as prejudicial to the plaintiff, as if they were made absolute.
¶3Dallas took nothing by his motion.
