¶1We have two courts with concurrent jurisdiction of certain matters, as foreclosure of mortgages, partition, &c. (§ 30.) The *155proceedings in foreclosure are commenced by summons and may be so in partition. (§§ 129, 130, 448.) And also in some other proceedings under § 30. It seems reasonable, as well as analogous to all former practice, that the defendant should know in what court he is sued. The statute plainly implies this where the action is not a contract for the recovery of money only, for then the summons must state that “ the plaintiff will apply to the court for the relief demanded in the complaint.” (§ 129.) The defendant may wish to look to the cause without answering, and without delaying it by demanding a copy of the complaint. (§§ 130, 1, 246.) And now, by the amended code, the complaint and summons do not necessarily go together. (§ 130.) It is better to have uniformity in the practice, whether the action be on contract or not.
¶2The title of the cause in the complaint sufficiently 'named the court under § 142.
¶3It is insisted that the plaintiff cannot amend. I have no doubt of the power of the court to amend the summons, (§§ 173, 176,) in such a case. It is not analogous to a case where all reference to the court is omitted in the complaint, in violation of the statute, especially where there are several courts having concurrent jurisdiction.
¶4The motion to set aside the summons and subsequent proceedings must be granted with $7 costs, unless within twenty days the plaintiff amends the summons by inserting the name of the court in which the defendant is required to appear, which he is permitted to do on payment of $7 coste.
¶5Motion granted, but with leave to amend, &c.
