IN continuing our review of the Common-law Procedure Act, we resume the action of ejectment, first observing, that, since our last notice of the subject, the New Rules of Practice (published in our last number) have been issued by the judges. The following relate to ejectment :

1st. No judgment, whether for want of appearance or defence, shall be signed without first filing an affidavit of service of the writ, together with a copy thereof; or, where personal service has not been effected, without first obtaining a judge's order or rule of Court authorising the signing of such judgment, which rule or order, or a duplicate thereof, is to be filed, together with a copy of the writ. (See sect. 177 of the act). 2ndly. Where a person not named in the writ has obtained leave to defend, he is to appear and give notice thereof to the plaintiff. (See sect. 172 of the act).

3rdly. If the plaintiff appears at the trial, and the defendant does not, the latter shall be taken to have admitted the plaintiff's title, and the verdict shall be entered for the plaintiff without producing any evidence, and he shall have judgment for his costs, as in other cases. (See sect. 183 of the act; Regulæ Generales, Hilary Term, 1853, rules 112-114).

the death of one of several claimants or defendants, or, where the right survives, by reason of the death of a sole claimant or defendant; but the action may be continued either by entering a suggestion, or, in some cases, without doing so. (Sects. 190-199).

A claimant may discontinue his action by giving notice to that effect, and thereupon the defendant may sign judgment for costs. So, one of several claimants may discontinue upon terms, by leave of the court or a judge, and the action will then proceed at the suit of the other claimants. (Sects. 200, 201).

A defendant, or one of several defendants, may also confess the action, in which case the claimant will be entitled to costs. (Sects. 203—205).
