    In this case there had been a decree in part, and a long time had elapsed since the cause had been set for hearing upon a publication of depositions; and now a motion was made by Mr. Copland to amend the bill by charging a new and material fact, to wit, fraud ; to this there was an objection by Mr. Hay, which was submitted to the Court.

   By the Chancellor.

The rule of the Court is, that after a publication, and the cause regularly set down, juou cannot amend by making parties, and cannot introduce new charges, or put a material fact in issue which was not in the case before; but you may prefer a supplemental bill.

Motion denied.
