Opinion

The Vice-Chancellor.

There may seem, at first sight, to be some incongruity in the statute; but I am satisfied the only benefit intended by the service of the order relates to publication. Such service would save the trouble and expense of advertising. This defendant is entitled to the four months to appear after the date of the order. The bill cannot be taken pro confessa against him before the end of that time, although the order should be personally served upon him.
