Calladay v. McKinsey

4 F. Cas. 1073, 5 McLean 166

Opinion

Since the commencement of this suit, the defendant, who claims under a tax title, filed his bill in the state court against the lessor of the plaintiff, a non-resident, and by publication, procured a decree of the title, no notice being given to the party nor his counsel in the case, of which the defendant had full notice. With the view of reversing this decree in the state-court, the counsel for plaintiff moved a continuance.

On the facts stated, the court continued the cause.
