Applicants failed to establish sufficient cause for non-appearance as reasons advanced were either unproven, unsupported by evidence, or amounted to negligence. The court found that summons had been duly served and that the applicants had ample opportunity to act but failed to do so. Thus, the application to set aside the ex parte judgment was dismissed for want of merit.
