REGULATIONS.

All issues of fact already joined and triable in the city of New York, will be noticed to the Clerk, and be put on the Calendar for the ensuing January Circuit.

During the first week of that Circuit, motions to correct the Calendar may be made.

After that week the Calendar will remain unchanged, and continue the Cal. endar for every successive Circuit, until all the causes on it shall be tried; each Circuit beginning on the Calendar where the immediately preceding Circuit left off.

Twenty causes a day, and no more, will be called at General and Special Terms, and before each Judge at Circuit, unless otherwise specially ordered. No cause will be set down for a particular day at a Circuit, unless sworn off when called, on account of the absence of a witness, and on payment of costs. If the trial of a cause shall not be moved by either party, when called in its order on the Circuit Calendar, it will go to the foot of the Calendar, and not be called again until it shall be reached in that place.

All new issues will be noticed for the first day of the next Circuit, after the same shall be joined, and be put in their order at the foot of the permanent Calendar.

After the first week of each Circuit (during which, motions to correct the Calendar may be made), the Calendar of the causes which may have gone down at the previous Circuit, and the new issues, will be entered as part and in continuation of the permanent Calendar; and so on, from court to court, until the end of the year.

These regulations do not affect the question of noticing the causes for trial to the opposite party, from court to court, as the statute may require.
