Caton v. M'Carty

2 U.S. 141

Opinion

By the Court:

—It has been the practice in Pennsylvania to file declarations before appearance. In the case of summons the act requires that it should be filed days before the return day. It has never yet been determined, that the filing a declaration is a waiver of bail: We have no such rule ; and, unless some substantial benefit is to be derived from adopting the practice contended for, the Court will not alter the usual course.

Rule discharged.
