The Chancellor.

¶1The general rule is as stated by the counsel for the plaintiffs ; but a rehearing is usually granted, if there be colourable ground for the application. Even in cases of decrees for costs only, there are exceptions to the general rule ; and it is so admitted in one of the cases referred to. The facts alleged- in the petition for a rehearing, in this case, are such as to render it proper and expedient that the case should he reconsidered.

¶2Motion granted.
