Opinion
When a party swears to merits, the court will strongly incline to let him in, but he must be able to suggest some excuse for not having pleaded; such, perhaps, as accident or inadvertence. Here the defendant does not attempt to give any reason at all, and therefore he must take nothing by his motion.
