V. Setting down a cause for hearing is done by entering the name of the cause ia the list of matters ready to come on for hearing in court, specifying the stage at which it is ready to come on for hearing. This has been a familiar expression in courts of equity. And, similarly, in the judicature act, 1875, first schedule, order 40, rules 3, 7, it is provided that a party may, under the circumstances mentioned in those rules, set down the action on motion for judgment. Mozley & W. The phrase, setting down a plea for hearing, in the hitherto received chanceiy practice, indicates that a plaintiff considers a defendant's plea insufiicient in point of law; to set down the plea for hearing is a course answering to a demurrer in an action at law.
