say: 'And this defendant is informed and beHeves, and upon such information states, that at the time of the creation and acceptance by complainant of the said trusts, as well as at the present time, and at the time of tiling its said bill, the said cotpplainant had no known place of businpss, and no authorized agent in the state of Alabama for the purpose oftransacting its said business; and that by section 4 of article 14 of the constitution of Alabama, which was then and now, in force. it is prescribed that no foreign corporation shall do any business in this state withol!t having at least one known place of business, and an authorized agent or agents, therein; and therefore this defendant pleads andsa.yil that the said complainant, was not authorized by the laws of Alabama, within the state of Alabama, to accept and execute said trusts, and maintain this or any other suit within the state of, Alabama, either in the state courts or in the courts of the United States, for the enJorcement of said trust; and this defendant now pleads said disability in abatement of this suit.' (2) And the complainant furl her excepts because that the said defendant hath reiterated said matter so above excepted to in the second paragraph of hifi said answer, hath not to the best and utmost of his knowledge set forth the alleged agreement referred to by him as' Exhibit D,' attached to the dependent bill filed by Grant Brothers. (3) And the complainant further excepts to the following portion of the third paragraph of said answer of Schley as scandalous, impertinent, ancl insufficient, to-wit, the averment that by acceptance of the trust referred to in the bill of complaint said trust company committed 8 fraud upona confiding public. (4) And the complainant further excepts to all the matter contained in the third paragraph of the said answer (excepting the denials only) as impertinent and insufficient, particularly so much thereof as relates to the manner in which the original capital stock of the mortgagor company is alleged to have been paid up." No further steps were taken in the matter until after the rule-day in July, and the rule-day in August following. In August the delendant moved the court for an order dismissing the exceptions on the , ground that the complainants had not complied with rule 27, in this: that they had not obtained an order referring said exceptions to the master to examine and report on the same 'On or before the succeeding ruleday, which was on the first Monday in July, 1889. During the same month comes. the complainant, and sets down for hearing on the next succeeding rule-day thereafter the exceptions to the insufficient answer of Schley, and asking, if such exceptions be not allowed, then for leave to withdraw said exceptions, and file a general replication. Both of these last motions are now submitted for the determination of the court. Under equity rule 27, which relates to ,scandal and impertinence, and rule 63, which provides for setting down exceptions for insufficiency, the complainant was too late. It may be that under rule 63, and the general equity practice, the court could now, upon cause shown, enlarp;e the time for filing exceptions, so that the complainant could raise the questions which are sought to be raised by his exceptions to the answer; but I have read the exceptions, and conclude that the case will be best speeded by not enlarging the time to file exceptions, but byallowing the complainants to withdraw all exceptions on file, and file a general replication by the first rule-day, which will be the first Monday in December next. v.40F.no.8-25
