<p>Notwithstanding the provision of the Code of Civil Procedure (§ 791) giving preferences among civil causes, a party claiming a preference in this court must comply with the directions of Rule 20 ; i. e., he must state such claim in his notice of argument, and the grounds of the preference, etc.</p>

Decided 1881-01-25

Danforth, J.

¶1 Notwithstanding the provisions of section 791 of the Code of Civil Procedure, giving certain preferences *528 among civil canses in the trial or hearing thereof, it is still necessary for a party claiming a preference in this court to comply with the directions of Rule 20. He must, therefore, in his notice of argument state such claim, and the other facts mentioned in that rule. In omitting these things the plaintiff erred, but it was evidently through misconception of the extent of the statute, and the cause' may now take the preference to which it is entitled.

¶2 Motion granted, without costs.

¶3 All concur.

¶4 Motion granted.
