<p>Practice, C. P. — Evidence—Depositions—Witness—Rules of court.</p> <p>The court of common pleas has no jurisdiction to make an order, prior to the trial, to take the deposition of a witness residing more than two hundred miles from a county seat, where the only ground for the order is the distance that the witness would have to travel to appear at the trial, and this is the case although the rule of the court provided that: “Depositions of parties and witnesses, without regard to the circumstances of their being aged, infirm or going witnesses, may be taken in advance of trial only upon an order of the court upon notice and cause shown.”</p>
