Mr Bruges applied for an order for substituted service in regard to the co-respon-dent. His Honor said that there had been » delay of two years in this matter, for which the co-respondent was not responsible.

After discussion Mr Bruges asked leave to postpone the application. His Honor said that he would grant that. Mr Kirk, on behalf of the respondent, appeared in a support of a summons for leave to file answer herein.
