to recover the moneys contributed or paid by the plaintiffs under and in pursuance of said contract. III. That prior to the commencement of this action the plaintiffs, believing that they had been defrauded, but not understanding the exact method and nature of the fraud by which they had been induced to part with their money, caused some investigations to be made, the substantial results of which were embodied in the original complaint in this cause; but that afterwards, when the cause came to be tried, the plaintiffs found that, while the matters of fact stated in the complaint were substantially true, yet that the complaint was not as full and as accurate in all relating to the details of the fraud as the proofs upon the trial. IV. That on the trial the plaintiff's counsel prepared and submitted to the court proposed findings of fact, intending to ask the court, in case said findings of fact should be adopted by the court, to confirm the pleadings thereto, but that the court rendered judgment for the defendants, which judgment was affirmed by the Appellate Division. But the judgment of the Special Term and of the Appellate Division has been reversed, and a new trial granted by the Court of Appeals. V. That after the commencement of this action, J. H. H. and J. A. A., who were originally co-plaintiffs, transferred and assigned their shares and interests in the cause and causes of action set forth in the complaint to the plaintiffs R. P. G. and S. E. G. VI. That the proposed amended and supplemental complaint hereto annexed, embodies the facts which, as deponent believes, were substantiated by the proofs given on the trial of this cause, and that while the said proposed amended and supplemental complaint embodies substantially the same cause of action set forth in the original complaint, and does not involve any abandonment of such cause or such original complaint, it states more accurately and fully than the original complaint did, the details of the fraud complained of by the plaintiffs, and the connection of the defendants therewith.

FORM No. 1114. Notice of motion (or order) that an unnecessary party be struck out.63 [As in other Forms (see 815, p. 1171, 818, p. 1173), stating relief thus:] That the summons and complaint [and other proceedings if necessary] herein be amended by striking out the name of W. X.; and that the plaintiff A. B. may proceed with this action, hereafter omitting the name of W. X. as a [defendant] therein, without prejudice to the proceedings already had. FORM No. 1115. Notice of motion (or order) for leave to change a co-plaintiff to a defendant. [As in other Forms (see No. 815, p. 1171, No. 818, p. 1173, stating relief thus:] allowing the plaintiff A.

Stephens v. Hall, 25 Abb. N. C. 300, 10 N. Y. Supp. 753, 19 Civ. Pro. Rep. 37. If the only relief sought is the dropping of the name, this order that the action continue is enough. Such was the direction on this point in Getty r. Spaulding, cited on p. 1441. See, generally, Vol. I, pp. 716, 719, and Form 431. 64 Newl. Ch. Pr., 161. 65 This may not always be necessary. 66 The application is frequently made ex parte, where the change is merely formal; but if it be such that any party who has been served could be affected in right, in the scope of the controversy, or in relief, by the order, he ought to have notice even if he has not appeared; for a failure to appear in response to a summons to appear and answer in a suit for specified relief between A. and B. ought not to deprive defendant of the opportunity to litigate a substantial question brought in by joining C., or by asking different relief, or relief on different facts. See, for an application of the principal involved, though relating to service of an amended pleading, Merrill v. Thompson, 80 App. Div. 503, 81 N. Y. Supp. 122, and cases cited. unless implied; and if leave to do more than add or strike out a formal party is asked, state reason why the applicant's affidavit is not presented, unless proposed new pleading duly verified is annexed]. * II.
